Weather Briefing
LIFRVal de Cans/Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,500 feet and 0.8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 20 knots with gusts to 36 knots. The significant gust spread of 16 knots may cause challenging turbulence on approach. Runway 07/20 is favored with a 20-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component (gusting to 6 knots crosswind). These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.8 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 1500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 19:00Z and 21:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Val de Cans/Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport
Overview
Val de Cans/Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport serves Belém, the capital of Pará state in northern Brazil. As a large international airport situated at 54 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Amazon region. The airport supports significant regional and international passenger and cargo operations.
Flying Conditions
Located near the equator at coordinates -1.379279, -48.476207, the airport experiences consistent tropical climate conditions with high humidity and frequent precipitation. Pilots should anticipate potential convective weather patterns typical of the Amazon basin, which can generate sudden thunderstorm activity. Temperature and humidity variations can significantly impact aircraft performance, especially during takeoff and landing.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways with substantial length variations: Runway 03/21 at 6,004 feet, Runway 07/20 at only 108 feet, and the primary Runway 07/25 extending 9,186 feet. The significant runway length on 07/25 provides flexibility for large aircraft operations and supports the airport's role as a major regional transportation hub. The relatively low elevation of 54 feet means minimal terrain challenges for approach and departure procedures.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25's extended length makes it the preferred runway for most commercial and cargo operations. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind shifts given the airport's proximity to coastal and riverine environments. Standard instrument approach procedures will be applicable, with careful attention to local meteorological conditions characteristic of the Amazon region.
