Weather Briefing
MVFRViracopos International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 6 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-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 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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. Expected weather includes: Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Rain between 07:00Z and 11:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 15:00Z and 22:00Z.
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 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 Viracopos International Airport
Overview
Viracopos International Airport serves the Campinas metropolitan area in Brazil, positioned strategically in São Paulo state at 2170 ft MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a substantial 10,630 ft runway, it supports significant regional and cargo aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Viracopos are predominantly favorable for flight, with 87.7% of observations indicating VFR conditions. The airport experiences consistent southeastern winds averaging 9.1 knots, with temperatures ranging from 11°C to 37°C and excellent average visibility of 10 statute miles. September, November, and January offer the most stable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (15/33) demonstrates exceptional wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Its high elevation at 2170 ft MSL and location near Campinas creates potential for moderate terrain interactions and temperature variability. The runway's substantial 10,630 ft length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect minimal crosswind challenges, with an average crosswind of just 4.1 knots on the primary runway. Wind predominantly originates from the southeast at 135 degrees, providing consistent approach predictability. With only 3.6% of observations indicating IFR conditions, visual approaches are highly probable throughout the year.
