Weather Briefing
VFRPalonegro Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (170°) at 8 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 19°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods. 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. 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: Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 04:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Palonegro Airport
Overview
Palonegro Airport serves Bucaramanga, Colombia as a medium-sized airport situated at 3897 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 7.126500, -73.184800, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the northeastern Colombian region. Its single runway 17/35 extends 7,381 feet and is constructed with asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 78% of observations supporting VFR operations. Temperature remains consistent, averaging 21.6°C with a moderate range between 17°C and 29°C. Pilots can expect northwest winds at an average of 6.9 knots, with maximum gusts up to 20 knots and calm conditions occurring 5.2% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's elevation at 3,897 feet MSL suggests terrain interaction and potential density altitude considerations for aircraft performance. Visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with negligible instances of visibility below 3 miles. Seasonal fog occurs in 16.9% of observations, primarily impacting winter and transitional months.
Approach Considerations
Runway 17/35 demonstrates 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind component of only 3.1 knots. September, December, and January represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate potential marginal conditions during less predictable weather periods, when MVFR conditions represent 14.4% of observations.
