Weather Briefing
MVFRForquilhinha - Criciúma Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 5 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1700 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Rain.
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 Forquilhinha - Criciúma Airport
Overview
Forquilhinha - Criciúma Airport serves the southern Brazilian region of Santa Catarina, located near the city of Criciúma. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 92 feet above mean sea level, it provides important regional aviation connectivity for the area. The airport's single runway (9/27) accommodates various aviation operations with its 4,882-foot asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location at 92 feet MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potential for variable coastal weather conditions typical of southern Brazil. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime influences given the airport's proximity to the Atlantic coast. Wind patterns may vary seasonally, with runway 09/27 oriented to accommodate predominant wind directions.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates -28.725743, -49.424475, the airport is positioned in a region with mixed terrain characteristics between coastal and interior landscapes. The 4,882-foot runway provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Surrounding terrain and regional topography may introduce specific local wind and approach considerations for pilots.
Approach Considerations
Runway 9/27's asphalt surface offers standard approach capabilities for regional aircraft. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during preflight planning, paying particular attention to potential coastal weather variations. Standard instrument approach procedures and local traffic patterns will apply for safe aircraft operations at this regional airport.
