Weather Briefing
VFRPiarco International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,200 feet and 9 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 8 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 km. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,200 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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 remain MVFR throughout the forecast period.
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 Piarco International Airport
Overview
Piarco International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Trinidad and Tobago, located in Port of Spain. The airport operates at a modest elevation of 58 feet MSL, providing access to the Caribbean region with a single robust runway 10/28 measuring 10,500 feet in length. Its strategic position makes it a critical aviation hub for commercial and regional operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Piarco are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules, with 89.6% of observations supporting VFR operations. Winds consistently blow from the east at an average of 7.9 knots, with temperature ranges between 20°C and 33°C. The most stable VFR conditions occur during January, October, and November, offering optimal flying environments for pilots.
Notable Features
The airport's runway 10/28 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswinds of 2.2 knots. Calm wind conditions are frequent, occurring in 40.4% of observations. The airport's location provides consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with negligible instances of fog or reduced visibility.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect predictable approach conditions with the predominant easterly winds favoring runway 10. The consistent wind patterns and high percentage of VFR conditions minimize complex approach challenges. With an asphalt surface and substantial 10,500-foot runway length, the airport offers reliable landing and takeoff capabilities across most aircraft categories.
