Weather Briefing
MVFRPuerto Jimenez Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,400 feet and 8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 2.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 5 knots. Runway 34 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,400 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 00:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 08:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Puerto Jimenez Airport
Overview
Puerto Jimenez Airport serves the Osa Peninsula region of Costa Rica, located in a coastal area known for its biodiversity and proximity to Corcovado National Park. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 7 feet mean sea level, it provides essential air access to this remote and ecologically significant part of southwestern Costa Rica.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable maritime weather conditions, with likely influence from Pacific Ocean air masses. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity, thermal variations, and potential marine layer development given the airport's proximity to coastal environments.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates 8.533330, -83.300003, Puerto Jimenez Airport features a single runway (16/34) approximately 2,707 feet in length. The surrounding terrain of the Osa Peninsula likely presents complex local topography, with mountainous regions and dense tropical vegetation potentially influencing wind patterns and approach dynamics.
Approach Considerations
The runway's orientation of 16/34 suggests potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing maritime wind patterns. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning, considering the relatively short runway length and potential local terrain effects when preparing for arrival or departure at this medium-sized airport.
