Flight planning: Bermuda Dunes Airport UDD / KUDD

What a pilot looks at before a flight from or to Bermuda Dunes Airport in Palm Springs, California, in plain English. The warnings, reports and winds below come from the government's aviation weather service and the restrictions from the FAA, refreshed every few minutes. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools.

Warnings in force SIGMETs and AIRMETs whose area covers this field

AIRMET TANGO 2W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 35,000 ft to 45,000 ft.
AIRMET TANGO 1W: moderate turbulence below 18,000 ft (due to mountain wave) up to 15,000 ft.

A SIGMET warns of weather hazardous to all aircraft (thunderstorms, severe turbulence or icing, volcanic ash); an AIRMET of weather that matters to small aircraft and to flying without instruments (moderate turbulence or icing, low cloud, strong surface wind, mountains hidden in cloud). An area is counted when it covers this field's position.

What pilots in the air told air traffic control or Flight Service: turbulence, icing, cloud tops and bases, temperature, wind, and whatever they remarked on (wind shear on final, a smooth ride). An urgent report is one of severe turbulence or icing, wind shear, or similar. Open "as filed, and in English" for the coded report and its translation line by line.

Winds and temperatures aloft forecast point ONT, 69 nm west of the field · for use 02:00–09:00 UTC

Height	Wind from	Speed	Temperature
3,000 ft	190° (south)	8 knots
6,000 ft	190° (south)	19 knots	6 °C
9,000 ft	210° (southwest)	23 knots	4 °C
12,000 ft	210° (southwest)	29 knots	-3 °C
18,000 ft	210° (southwest)	47 knots	-13 °C
24,000 ft	210° (southwest)	49 knots	-19 °C
30,000 ft	220° (southwest)	47 knots	-30 °C
34,000 ft	220° (southwest)	50 knots	-36 °C
39,000 ft	220° (southwest)	55 knots	-43 °C

Based on data from the 12th at 00:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 06:00 UTC for use 02:00 to 09:00 UTC; temperatures above 24,000 ft are below zero. Heights are above sea level; the lowest rows are left out where the ground is already that high.

Temporary flight restrictions within 50 nautical miles, from the FAA's list

6/8887 Indio, CA, Sunday, October 11, 2026 through Monday, October 12, 2026 Local 3 nm southeast · security · until 12 October · ZLA
6/4812 El Centro, CA, Wednesday, July 15, 2026 through Tuesday, July 13, 2027 Local 42 nm southeast · security · until 13 July · ZLA

Each restriction opens the FAA's own page with the exact area, heights and times. Ordinary notices to air missions (a closed runway, lights out, a crane) are not shown here: the FAA's notice search is not open to sites like this one at this time, and the application for the FAA's data feed is in hand.
