Weather Briefing
VFRCongonhas Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
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
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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. 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, Patches Fog. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Mist, Patches Fog between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.
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 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.
