Weather Briefing

MVFR

Chichén Itzá International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 7 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 2.4 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 10 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 SM. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
