Weather Briefing
IFRGeneral Abelardo L. Rodriguez International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 800 feet and 4 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 4 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Haze, Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 11:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About General Abelardo L. Rodriguez International Airport
Overview
General Abelardo L. Rodriguez International Airport serves as a critical aviation gateway for Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. Located at coordinates 32.541043, -116.969976, the airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the cross-border region between Mexico and the United States. As a large airport situated at 489 feet above mean sea level, it supports significant commercial and regional aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 489 ft MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment typical of coastal regions. Pilots should anticipate potential marine layer influences and associated visibility variations, particularly during morning and evening hours. The airport's geographical position near the Pacific coast suggests potential wind variability that could impact approach and departure procedures.
Notable Features
The primary runway 09/27 spans 9,711 feet with a concrete surface, providing substantial operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing, particularly given the airport's proximity to complex terrain near the US-Mexico border. The runway length accommodates most commercial and regional aircraft with ample margin for safe operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 09/27's substantial length of 9,711 feet offers pilots generous landing and takeoff parameters. The concrete surface provides consistent braking characteristics across varying meteorological conditions. Pilots should assess prevailing wind directions and potential terrain-induced wind shifts when planning approaches to this coastal airport environment.
