Weather Briefing
VFRChetumal International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and 7 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 10 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,000 ft, scattered at 8,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 01:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Chetumal International Airport
Overview
Chetumal International Airport serves the capital of Quintana Roo state in southeastern Mexico, located near the Belize border. Positioned at 39 ft MSL with coordinates 18.504985, -88.328018, this medium airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Yucatan Peninsula's southeastern region. The airport supports regional and potentially international commercial and general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Chetumal demonstrate highly favorable VFR flying environments, with 71.2% of observations presenting visual flight rules. Prevailing winds from the north (0°) average 8 knots, with a maximum recorded speed of 25 knots and calm conditions occurring 50.6% of the time. Temperature ranges from 14°C to 34°C, with an average of 26.5°C, and average visibility of 6.4 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 10/28 extends 7,244 feet with an asphalt surface, offering substantial landing and takeoff capabilities. Its geographic location near the Caribbean coast suggests potential for rapid weather changes typical of tropical maritime environments. The low elevation of 39 ft MSL indicates minimal terrain-related approach complexities.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28 demonstrates 100% wind favorability, with an average crosswind of 5 knots. January, October, and December represent the most consistently excellent VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility conditions, with 2.7% of observations showing visibility below 3 statute miles and occasional fog present in 1.1% of reports.
