Weather Briefing
MVFRSoyo Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (80°) at 5 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 18°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain IFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Mist. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 03:00Z and 08:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Soyo Airport
Overview
Soyo Airport serves the municipality of Soyo in Angola, located near the northern coastline of the country. Positioned at an elevation of 15 feet mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the local region and supports various aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable wind conditions and maritime weather influences. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and temperature fluctuations typical of tropical coastal environments, which can impact aircraft performance and visibility.
Notable Features
The airport features a single asphalt runway (06/24) with a substantial length of 5,905 feet, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical coordinates at -6.141090, 12.371800 place it in a relatively flat coastal terrain, which should provide relatively straightforward approach and departure paths.
Approach Considerations
Runway 06/24 orientation indicates potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during pre-flight planning, paying particular attention to wind direction and potential maritime weather interactions that could affect landing and takeoff performance.
