Weather Briefing
MVFRMactan Cebu International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (170°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,100 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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.

About Mactan Cebu International Airport
Overview
Mactan Cebu International Airport (RPVM) serves as a critical aviation hub in the Central Visayas region of the Philippines, located in Lapu-Lapu City. Positioned at 31 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 10.309261, 123.979740, the airport is a large international facility handling significant passenger and cargo traffic for the Cebu metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 31 ft MSL indicates a maritime tropical climate typical of the Philippine archipelago. Pilots should anticipate potential convective weather and tropical maritime conditions that can generate localized thunderstorm activity, especially during the monsoon seasons. Wind patterns and visibility can vary significantly throughout the year.
Notable Features
The primary runway 04/22 is 10,827 feet long with an asphalt (ASP) surface, providing substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for large commercial aircraft. Its geographic position on Mactan Island presents unique navigational considerations, with surrounding maritime terrain and potential sea-level wind variations that can impact approach and departure procedures.
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22's extended length offers flexibility for various aircraft types and operational requirements. Given the airport's coastal location, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear and turbulence, particularly during seasonal weather transitions. Standard maritime airport considerations regarding visibility and wind patterns should be carefully evaluated during flight planning.
