Weather Briefing
IFRAntonio Agostinho-Neto International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,600 feet and 4.5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 5 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4.5 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 2600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 19°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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.
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 Antonio Agostinho-Neto International Airport
Overview
Antonio Agostinho-Neto International Airport serves Pointe Noire, Republic of Congo, as a medium-sized international airport. Located at an elevation of 55 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's commercial and potentially military operations. Its single runway 17/35 offers substantial landing capability at 8,530 feet in asphalt surface configuration.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly MVFR conditions, with 69.7% of observed weather scenarios in this category. Prevailing southerly winds at an average of 6.8 knots create generally stable flight conditions, with maximum recorded winds of 16 knots. Temperature ranges between 21°C and 32°C, with an average of 26.1°C, supporting consistent operational environments.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates -4.816030, 11.886600, the airport's geographical positioning influences its meteorological characteristics. The low elevation and coastal proximity likely contribute to the consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles. Minimal fog occurrence (0.1%) and zero instances of visibility below 3SM suggest reliable visual navigation conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 17/35 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of just 3.8 knots. January, November, and December represent the optimal VFR months for flight operations. Pilots can expect predictable approach conditions with high probability of visual meteorological conditions.
