Weather Briefing

MVFR

General Francisco J. Mujica International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 4 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 6 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 4 SM, 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: towering cumulus clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 23 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Haze, Light Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 23:00Z and 03:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

Overview

General Francisco J. Mujica International Airport serves Morelia, Mexico, situated at a high elevation of 6,033 feet MSL. The airport provides medium-sized airport infrastructure for regional and commercial aviation operations in the central Mexican plateau region. Its strategic location and substantial runway length of 11,155 feet accommodate a variety of aircraft types.

Flying Conditions

The airport predominantly experiences Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 82.3% of observations supporting clear weather operations. Pilots can expect consistent southern winds averaging 4.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 29 knots. Temperature variations range from 0°C to 29°C, with an average of 15.5°C, and visibility typically around 6.6 statute miles.

Notable Features

The airport's high elevation at 6,033 feet requires careful performance calculations for aircraft operations. Its single runway (05/23) is asphalted and offers consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. The surrounding terrain of the Mexican plateau may present potential orographic wind and turbulence considerations for approaching aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23 offers excellent wind coverage, with an average crosswind of only 2.9 knots. The best Visual Flight Rules months are December, October, and November, providing optimal flying conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility during foggy periods, which occur in approximately 5% of observations.
