Weather Briefing
IFRCongonhas Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 6 knots. Runway 17L/35R is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 600 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°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 12 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Drizzle, Mist. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Drizzle, Mist between 07:00Z and 11:00Z.
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 Congonhas Airport
Overview
Congonhas Airport serves São Paulo, Brazil's largest metropolitan area, as a critical medium-sized urban airport. Located at 2631 feet mean sea level, the airport handles significant commercial and general aviation traffic in a densely populated region. Its strategic positioning within São Paulo makes it a key transportation hub for the southeastern Brazilian aviation network.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 51% of observations indicating clear weather and an additional 28.7% in marginal VFR status. Temperature variations range from 11°C to 35°C, with an average of 20.2°C, providing generally stable flying conditions. The best VFR months are December, November, and January, offering optimal flying weather for pilots.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel asphalt runways: 17L/35R (4905 ft) and 17R/35L (6365 ft), both aligned in a north-south orientation. Consistent wind patterns from the south (180°) average 8.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 31 knots. The airport's elevation and geographic location contribute to its relatively stable wind characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind of just 3.6 knots. Visibility consistently averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (fog occurs in only 0.1% of observations). Pilots can anticipate reliable approach conditions, particularly during the peak VFR months of late calendar year.
