Weather Briefing
IFROiapoque Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with clear skies and 2.7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 2.7 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 16:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Oiapoque Airport
Overview
Oiapoque Airport serves the remote region of northern Brazil, situated near the French Guiana border. Located at 3.854120, -51.797056 and elevated at 53 ft MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure in an isolated geographical area. The airport supports regional connectivity with its single asphalt runway measuring 3937 feet.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 77.1% of observations supporting VFR operations. Wind patterns are consistently easterly at an average of 4.6 knots, with occasional peaks up to 13 knots and calm conditions occurring 27.9% of the time. Temperature ranges from 21°C to 35°C, averaging 26.4°C, which suggests stable thermal conditions for most of the year.
Notable Features
The airport is positioned in a tropical region with minimal terrain complexity. Its low elevation of 53 ft MSL suggests minimal altitude-related challenges for arrivals and departures. The geographical location near the equator contributes to consistent weather patterns, with October, November, and September presenting the most stable flying conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 3/21 offers flexibility given the prevailing easterly winds at 90 degrees. Pilots should anticipate excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with rare instances of reduced visibility or fog. The statistical profile suggests minimal meteorological impediments, with only 5.2% of observations indicating instrument flight conditions and virtually no reports of visibility below 3 statute miles.
