Weather Briefing

VFR

Marechal Rondon Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 6 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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. 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. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 06:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 00:00Z.

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.

Flying Conditions

Weather at SBCY demonstrates highly favorable VFR conditions, with 84.8% of observations reporting visual flight rules. The prevailing northwest winds at an average of 6.3 knots create stable flying conditions, with temperature ranges from 19°C to 41°C. September through November represent the most consistent VFR months with minimal meteorological disruptions.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway 17/35 extends 7,546 feet with an asphalt surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Wind data indicates 100% favorable runway alignment, with an average crosswind of just 3.6 knots. Maximum recorded wind speeds reach 26 knots, suggesting occasional moderate wind challenge potential.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect predominantly stable approach conditions given the airport's meteorological profile.
