Weather Briefing
IFRTenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 18 knots with gusts to 29 knots. Runway 30 is favored with a 18-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 700 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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: DZRA, Patches Fog, Fog, RADZ. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 21:00Z and 21:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with DZRA, Patches Fog between 21:00Z and 09:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 01:00Z and 06:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport
Overview
Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport serves Tenerife's northern region, situated at an elevation of 2,076 feet MSL on the Canary Islands. The airport primarily handles regional and inter-island traffic, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the Canary Island archipelago. Its medium-sized classification supports diverse flight operations across the region.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 56.4% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Wind patterns are consistently from the northwest (315°) at an average of 10.5 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 36 knots. Temperature ranges from 9°C to 35°C, with an average of 16.6°C, offering relatively stable thermal conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (12/30) extends 10,404 feet with an asphalt surface, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types. Its elevated position at 2,076 feet provides unique terrain interactions, particularly with northwestern wind patterns. The surrounding geographic context of Tenerife's mountainous landscape can create complex local wind and visibility conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 2.8 knots. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, though pilots should note occasional fog events occurring in 13% of observations. October, November, and September represent the most consistently favorable VFR flying months for this airport.
