VFRGeneral Francisco Javier Mina International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 22,000 feet and 8 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (80°) at 7 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 22,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 30°C (86°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Haze, Light Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations

About General Francisco Javier Mina International Airport
Overview
General Francisco Javier Mina International Airport serves the Tampico metropolitan area in northeastern Mexico, located at 22.296400, -97.865898. The airport is a medium-sized facility with three asphalt runways ranging from 3,937 to 8,366 feet in length, situated at an elevation of 80 feet mean sea level (MSL).
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 70.6% of observations under VFR and 23.5% under Marginal VFR. Wind conditions are characterized by northerly prevailing winds averaging 6.7 knots, with a maximum recorded speed of 27 knots and calm periods occurring 9.7% of the time. Temperature variations range from 9°C to 33°C, with an average of 24.3°C.
Notable Features
All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind conditions, with modest average crosswind components between 3.8 and 4.6 knots. The airport's location offers relatively stable meteorological conditions, with September, October, and November presenting the best VFR flying conditions. Visibility averages 7.1 statute miles, with only 4.7% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistent wind conditions that support operations across all runways. The longest runway (14/32 at 8,366 feet) provides the most substantial landing and takeoff option. With minimal low instrument meteorological conditions (0.2% LIFR), the airport generally supports predictable approach and departure procedures under visual or marginal visual flight rules.
