Weather Briefing
VFRAtlas Brasil Cantanhede Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 7,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (270°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 7000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 4,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Drizzle, Rain. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 05:00Z and 13:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Rain between 21:00Z and 23:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.

About Atlas Brasil Cantanhede Airport
Overview
Atlas Brasil Cantanhede Airport serves Boa Vista, located in northern Brazil. As a medium-sized airport with a substantial 8,858-foot asphalt runway, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Roraima state region. The airport's elevation of 276 feet MSL positions it in a relatively flat terrain environment.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect consistently excellent visual flight conditions, with 96.7% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Temperatures remain warm year-round, averaging 28.5°C with a typical range between 22°C and 35°C. The prevailing easterly winds at an average of 7 knots contribute to stable flying conditions, though occasional gusts up to 94 knots have been recorded.
Notable Features
The airport is situated at coordinates 2.845855, -60.690944 in a region characterized by its tropical climate. The single runway (8/26) provides a long, reliable surface for medium-sized aircraft operations. Visibility consistently remains excellent, with an average of 10 statute miles and no recorded instances of significant visibility restrictions.
Approach Considerations
Given the predominant easterly winds, runway 26 may offer more favorable approach conditions. January, September, and December represent the most consistently stable months for visual flight operations. Pilots should anticipate warm temperatures and generally predictable wind patterns when planning arrivals and departures.
