Weather Briefing
VFRToncontín International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 6 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3600 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 3,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C, indicating moderate moisture 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. 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: Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 20:00Z and 02:00Z.
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 Toncontín International Airport
Overview
Toncontín International Airport serves Tegucigalpa, Honduras as a medium-sized airport situated at 3294 feet mean sea level. The airport is positioned at coordinates 14.060900, -87.217201, supporting regional and domestic aviation operations. Its single runway (02/20) spans 6112 feet with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly VFR conditions, with 66.2% of recorded periods offering clear flying conditions and 30.6% of time presenting marginal VFR scenarios. Wind patterns are predominantly northerly at an average of 6.9 knots, with occasional gusts up to 40 knots and calm periods representing 13.9% of observations. Temperature remains stable, averaging 21.5°C with a range between 13°C and 32°C.
Notable Features
The airport's elevation of 3294 feet MSL suggests potential terrain interaction and density altitude considerations for aircraft performance. Its geographic location in central Honduras implies potential for complex local wind and terrain-influenced meteorological conditions. The runway alignment suggests potential terrain-related approach and departure challenges typical of mountainous Central American landscapes.
Approach Considerations
Runway 02/20 demonstrates 100% favorable wind conditions with an average crosswind component of 3.7 knots. Pilots can expect optimal VFR flying conditions during December, October, and January. Visibility consistently averages 10 statute miles, providing excellent visual reference for most operations.
