Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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: Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 23:00Z.

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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

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

About José Martí International Airport

Overview

José Martí International Airport serves as the primary international airport for Havana, Cuba, and is a critical aviation hub for the Caribbean region. Located at coordinates 22.989201, -82.409103, the airport operates at an elevation of 210 feet above mean sea level and supports large commercial and international air traffic.

Flying Conditions

Situated in a tropical maritime climate, the airport experiences consistent weather patterns typical of the Caribbean, with potential for rapid meteorological changes. Pilots should anticipate potential thunderstorm activity and seasonal wind variations that can impact flight operations on the 13,123-foot asphalt runway.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (06/24) provides substantial operational flexibility with its extensive 13,123-foot length, accommodating large commercial aircraft. Its geographical position near Havana creates a dynamic operational environment with potential urban thermal effects and coastal wind interactions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 06/24's extended length allows for diverse approach strategies with significant margin for error. Pilots should remain attentive to potential crosswind conditions given the airport's coastal location, and be prepared to adjust approach profiles accordingly based on prevailing wind directions.
