Weather Briefing
IFRAtlas Brasil Cantanhede Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 1 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 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. 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. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 06:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 14:00Z and 23:00Z.
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 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.
