Weather Briefing
IFRJorge Chávez International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 500 feet and 3 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1204.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 3 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 500 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
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.
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.

About Jorge Chávez International Airport
Overview
Jorge Chávez International Airport serves as Peru's primary international gateway, located in Lima at coordinates -12.021900, -77.114305. As a large airport situated at 113 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for both passenger and cargo operations in the South American region.
Flying Conditions
Lima's coastal location significantly influences airport meteorological conditions, with relatively stable atmospheric conditions throughout the year. Pilots should anticipate maritime-influenced weather patterns typical of Peru's central coastal region, characterized by moderate temperature ranges and potential marine layer developments.
Notable Features
The airport features two substantial runways: 16L/34R measuring 11,506 feet with concrete construction, and 16R/34L at 11,417 feet also with concrete surface. These extensive runway lengths accommodate wide-body aircraft and provide operational flexibility for both commercial and cargo aviation requirements.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation allows for approaches from multiple directions, with 16L/34R and 16R/34L providing complementary operational capabilities. Pilots should consider the airport's coastal positioning and potential maritime wind influences when planning approaches, utilizing the parallel runway configuration to optimize landing and departure procedures.
