Weather Briefing
IFRProfessor Urbano Ernesto Stumpf Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 900 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 5 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 22:00Z and 00:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

Its single runway 16/34 provides a substantial 8,780-foot asphalt surface for aircraft movements.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at SBSJ are predominantly favorable for flying, with 65.8% of observations reporting VFR conditions. The airport experiences consistent southeastern winds averaging 6.7 knots, with a maximum recorded wind speed of 23 knots. Temperature ranges from 10°C to 36°C, with an average of 22.2°C, making it a relatively stable environment for aviation operations.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 16/34 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. Crosswinds average only 4.3 knots, indicating generally comfortable landing conditions. Visibility is consistently good, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal instances of reduced visibility or fog.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during December, September, and January, which represent the airport's best flying months. The prevailing southeast winds at 135 degrees suggest runway 16/34 will typically offer the most favorable wind alignment for arrivals and departures. With calm conditions occurring only 2.2% of the time, wind considerations are generally predictable and manageable.
