Weather Briefing
IFRCadjehoun Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 900 feet and 8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 2.7 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 10 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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 30 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: Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 03:00Z and 09:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 17:00Z.
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 Cadjehoun Airport
Overview
Cadjehoun Airport serves Cotonou, Benin, as a medium-sized airport situated at 19 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 6.357230, 2.384350, the airport supports regional aviation operations with its single runway 06/24, which spans 7,874 feet with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Cadjehoun are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 77.9% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Prevailing winds from the southwest (225°) average 8.6 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 20 knots. Temperature remains consistently warm, averaging 28.2°C with a range between 22°C and 33°C.
Notable Features
The airport's low elevation of 19 feet MSL indicates a flat coastal terrain typical of southern Benin. Runway 06/24 experiences highly favorable wind conditions, with 100% of wind observations supporting acceptable crosswind limitations. Calm wind conditions occur in only 0.7% of observations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during October, November, and December, with consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The runway's orientation and prevailing southwest winds result in an average crosswind of just 3 knots, providing predictable approach and landing characteristics for most aircraft operations.
