Live aviation weather for San Diego International Airport in San Diego, CA, including METAR, TAF, ATIS, flight category, wind, visibility, ceiling, altimeter and runway crosswinds.
San Diego International Airport (KSAN) is one of the primary air-carrier airports serving San Diego, CA at a field elevation of 17 ft. KSAN reports its own METAR and publishes a TAF, and broadcasts digital ATIS (D-ATIS), decoded live on this page as flight category, wind, visibility, ceiling and altimeter. It has one runway (09/27), the longest 9,401 ft. The official FAA airport diagram is at the bottom of the page.
Wind calm, visibility 10+ statute miles, a few clouds at 3,500 ft, scattered clouds at 25,000 ft, temperature 16°C (61°F), altimeter 29.95 inHg. Conditions are Visual Flight Rules (VFR).

Current pilot readout for KSAN
KSAN is currently VFR with calm winds, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. The tower TFDM states arrivals on runway 27 and departures on runway 27. Density altitude is approximately 100 ft (field elevation 17 ft). Review the latest TAF below for forecast changes before departure.
KSAN by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 45 ground stops and 127 ground delay programs for SAN between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 130 days. Traffic volume was the most common reason (116 of 172). A typical ground stop lasted about 1 h 13 min.
KSAN reported VFR in 73% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 268 flyable days a year. January is the most reliable month and June the least, with IFR or worse 9% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 5% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 27 had the best headwind 78% of the time, runway 09 22%, and winds were calm 27% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west-northwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 20 days a year, and fog or mist on 98. November and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 9% of hours, against 2% in May.
SAN departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 76% of the time across 99,189 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (90%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (65%).
Over the last 30 days of recorded D-ATIS broadcasts, KSAN ran west flow 93% of the time and east flow 7%. Runway 27 was named for arrivals most often (93% of recorded hours), and the configuration changed 20 times.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
