Weather Briefing
VFRBarstow Daggett Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 6 knots. Runway 04/22 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 34°C (93°F) with a dewpoint of -4°C, indicating very dry conditions. 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. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 18 knots.
Pilot Recommendations

About Barstow Daggett Airport
Overview
Barstow Daggett Airport serves the Daggett area in Southern California, situated at an elevation of 1,930 feet MSL. The medium-sized airport provides critical infrastructure for regional aviation operations, featuring two asphalt runways that support various aircraft types. Its location in the high desert region offers strategic utility for pilots traversing the southwestern United States.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Barstow Daggett Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 92.7% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. The airport experiences prevailing westerly winds averaging 8.3 knots, with temperature ranges from -2°C to 37°C. October, December, and September represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions with minimal meteorological disruptions.
Notable Features
The airport's dual runway configuration (04/22 at 5,119 feet and 08/26 at 6,400 feet) provides excellent operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components (6.3 knots for 04/22 and 3.2 knots for 08/26). The high desert terrain and elevation contribute to predictable atmospheric conditions and generally stable flight environments.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate predominantly westerly winds when planning arrivals and departures. Visibility consistently averages 9.9 statute miles, with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility (only 0.4% of observations show conditions below 3 statute miles). The runway lengths and wind characteristics make this airport accommodating for most general aviation and regional aircraft operations.
