Weather Briefing
MVFRGustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (80°) at 5 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-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 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 26°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: RADZ, Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 02:00Z and 06:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport
Overview
Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport serves San Andrés Island, located in the Caribbean Sea off Colombia's coast. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (06/24), it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this offshore Colombian territory, handling regional and international air traffic.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 87% of observations showing clear weather. Temperature remains consistently warm, averaging 28.1°C with a moderate range between 18°C and 33°C. Wind patterns are stable, predominantly from the northeast at 45 degrees, with an average speed of 8 knots and maximum gusts of 17 knots.
Notable Features
Situated at a low elevation of 19 feet mean sea level, the airport has minimal terrain complexity. The 7,808-foot asphalt runway provides substantial length for most aircraft operations. Its geographic position on an island ensures consistent wind patterns with minimal terrain-induced turbulence or wind shear.
Approach Considerations
Runway 06/24 offers optimal wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and a minimal average crosswind of 2.1 knots. Pilots can expect excellent visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and rare instances of reduced visibility. January, September, and December represent the most consistently favorable flying months for visual approaches.
