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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 03:00Z and 12:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Caravelas Airport

Overview

Caravelas Airport serves the coastal municipality of Caravelas in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Situated at a low elevation of 36 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the southeastern Brazilian coastal region. The airport supports regional connectivity with a single runway capable of handling medium-sized aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions and maritime weather patterns typical of Brazil's eastern seaboard. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and visibility variations due to the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The single runway (6/24) is an asphalt surface measuring 5,020 feet, which accommodates most regional and medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

Caravelas Airport is positioned at coordinates -17.652300, -39.253101, placing it in a relatively flat coastal terrain. The low elevation minimizes significant terrain-related challenges for approach and departure procedures. The airport's geographical positioning suggests potential maritime and coastal weather influences that pilots should carefully monitor during flight planning.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 6/24 orientation indicates potential crosswind considerations depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight weather assessments to understand current wind conditions and their potential impact on landing and takeoff operations. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual flight rules should be carefully reviewed prior to arrival at this medium-sized airport.
