Weather Briefing
VFRJosé Celestino Mutis Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,900 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,900 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.

About José Celestino Mutis Airport
Overview
José Celestino Mutis Airport serves Bahía Solano, a coastal municipality in western Colombia. Located at 80 ft mean sea level with coordinates 6.202920, -77.394700, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region. The airport features two runways: a 3,973 ft asphalted runway (18/36) and another runway with unspecified length (17/35).
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at José Celestino Mutis Airport are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 57.7% of observations indicating clear conditions. Meteorological data shows consistent temperatures ranging from 22°C to 31°C, with an average of 25.4°C. Wind patterns are primarily from the south (180°) at an average of 4.5 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 12 knots and calm conditions occurring 2.6% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's coastal location suggests potential maritime influences on local weather and terrain. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components (0.9-1.2 knots). Visibility consistently remains excellent, with an average of 10 statute miles and negligible instances of reduced visibility or fog.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during September, October, and January. The 18/36 runway, being the primary asphalted runway at 3,973 ft, offers the most reliable surface for operations. Given the consistent southern wind patterns, approaches from the north or south are likely to experience minimal wind interference.
