Weather Briefing

VFR

Surigao Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 25,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 91.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 25000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

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

About Surigao Airport

Overview

Surigao Airport (RPMS) serves Surigao City in the Philippines, functioning as a medium-sized regional airport at an elevation of 20 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 9.755838, 125.480947, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Surigao region. Its single concrete runway (18/36) extends 5,603 feet, supporting medium-sized aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 20 ft MSL indicates minimal terrain challenges for approach and departure procedures. Being situated in the Philippines, the airport experiences tropical maritime weather with potential monsoon-related precipitation and wind variations. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions on the 18/36 runway, particularly during seasonal weather transitions.

Notable Features

Surigao Airport's geographic position in the Philippines suggests potential marine influence on local meteorological conditions. The concrete runway configuration provides reliable surface conditions for aircraft operations. The airport's medium classification indicates it can handle regional commercial and general aviation traffic appropriate to its infrastructure.

Approach Considerations

Runway 18/36's 5,603-foot length accommodates most regional aircraft types with reasonable operational margins. Given the airport's coastal location, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear or turbulence during approach. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended, taking into account the relatively flat terrain surrounding the airport.
