Weather Briefing
VFRLoreto International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 22,000 feet and 10 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 11.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 6 knots. Runway 34 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 22000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 34°C (93°F) with a dewpoint of 8°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 18 knots.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Loreto International Airport
Overview
Loreto International Airport serves the municipality of Loreto in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Located at an elevation of 34 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation access to the coastal region. Its single runway (16/34) extends 7,218 feet with an asphalt surface, supporting various aircraft operations in this southeastern Baja California peninsula location.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Loreto are predominantly VFR, with 99% of observations indicating clear flying conditions. Temperatures range from 15°C to 37°C, with an average of 26.3°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions. Wind patterns are consistent, with northerly winds (0°) averaging 10 knots and occasional gusts up to 25 knots, with calm conditions present 32.7% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic positioning near the coast influences its meteorological characteristics. With extremely low occurrence of reduced visibility (only 0.1% of observations below 3SM), pilots can expect generally clear approach and departure conditions. The surrounding terrain is typical of the Baja California peninsula, with minimal obstruction potential for standard flight operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 6.4 knots. December, January, and November represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions. Pilots should anticipate predictable wind patterns and excellent visibility when operating at this airport.
