Weather Briefing
MVFRAntonio Agostinho-Neto International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,300 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 8 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,300 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 23°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 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: Mist. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 13:00Z and 19:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 04:00Z and 07:00Z.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Antonio Agostinho-Neto International Airport
Overview
Antonio Agostinho-Neto International Airport serves Pointe Noire, Republic of Congo, as a medium-sized international airport. Located at an elevation of 55 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's commercial and potentially military operations. Its single runway 17/35 offers substantial landing capability at 8,530 feet in asphalt surface configuration.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly MVFR conditions, with 69.7% of observed weather scenarios in this category. Prevailing southerly winds at an average of 6.8 knots create generally stable flight conditions, with maximum recorded winds of 16 knots. Temperature ranges between 21°C and 32°C, with an average of 26.1°C, supporting consistent operational environments.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates -4.816030, 11.886600, the airport's geographical positioning influences its meteorological characteristics. The low elevation and coastal proximity likely contribute to the consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles. Minimal fog occurrence (0.1%) and zero instances of visibility below 3SM suggest reliable visual navigation conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 17/35 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of just 3.8 knots. January, November, and December represent the optimal VFR months for flight operations. Pilots can expect predictable approach conditions with high probability of visual meteorological conditions.
