San Antonio International Airport (KSAT) is one of the primary air-carrier airports serving San Antonio, TX at a field elevation of 809 ft. KSAT 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 3 physical runways (04/22, 13L/31R, 13R/31L), the longest 8,505 ft. The official FAA airport diagram is at the bottom of the page.
Wind from the southeast (130°) at 10 kt, visibility 10+ statute miles, broken clouds at 3,900 ft, overcast at 6,500 ft, temperature 23°C (74°F), altimeter 30.14 inHg. Conditions are Visual Flight Rules (VFR), ceiling 3,900 ft.

Current pilot readout for KSAT
KSAT is currently VFR with winds from 130° at 10 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and a 3,900 ft ceiling. The tower TFDM states arrivals on runway 13R and 13L and departures on runway 13R, 13L and 04; crosswind on the active runways is approximately 0–10 kt; the wind favors southeast-facing runway ends (13L, 13R). Density altitude is approximately 1,750 ft (field elevation 809 ft). Review the latest TAF below for forecast changes before departure.
KSAT by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 9 ground stops and 2 ground delay programs for SAT between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 10 days. Traffic volume was the most common reason (6 of 11). A typical ground stop lasted about 1 h.
KSAT reported VFR in 77% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 280 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 16% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the southeast-facing ends (13L, 13R) had the best headwind 48% of the time, runway 04 22%, and winds were calm 12% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 38 days a year. 47% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in May when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
SAT departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 82% of the time across 40,731 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (93%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (66%).
Over the last 30 days of recorded D-ATIS broadcasts, KSAT ran southeast flow 63% of the time and northeast flow 30%. Runway 13R was named for arrivals most often (66% of recorded hours), and the configuration changed 87 times.

“Current use” is what the tower TFDM configurationstates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
