Weather Briefing
MVFRAracati Dragão do Mar Regional Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 4 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
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.
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 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 Aracati Dragão do Mar Regional Airport
Overview
Aracati Dragão do Mar Regional Airport serves the municipal region of Aracati in northeastern Brazil, located in the state of Ceará. As a medium-sized regional airport, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for local transportation and regional connectivity. The airport sits at an elevation of 128 feet above mean sea level, situated at coordinates -4.568896, -37.805135.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions typical of northeastern Brazilian climate zones. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime meteorological influences that can create localized wind shifts and visibility changes. The airport's asphalted runway (9/27) measuring 3,937 feet provides reasonable operational flexibility for regional aircraft.
Notable Features
Aracati Dragão do Mar Regional Airport is positioned in a geographic area characterized by coastal terrain and potential maritime environmental interactions. The single runway (9/27) orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing wind directions. Pilots should be prepared for potential thermal and sea breeze effects common in coastal Brazilian regions.
Approach Considerations
Approach considerations should account for the runway's 3,937-foot length, which accommodates medium-sized regional aircraft. The airport's elevation of 128 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with minimal terrain complexity. Runway 09/27 provides standard directional options based on wind conditions, with standard left-hand traffic patterns expected.
