Weather Briefing

MVFR

Prefeito Renato Moreira Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 2 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions.

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 Prefeito Renato Moreira Airport

Overview

Prefeito Renato Moreira Airport serves Imperatriz, Brazil, as a medium-sized regional airport situated at 430 feet above mean sea level. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Maranhão state, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations in this central Brazilian region.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 84.9% of observed weather periods offering clear flying conditions. Temperature ranges from 20°C to 38°C with an average of 28.5°C, and wind patterns typically originate from the northeast at an average of 4.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 32 knots. October, November, and September represent the most consistent VFR months for pilots.

Notable Features

Positioned at coordinates -5.531290, -47.459999, the airport features a single runway (7/25) measuring 5,899 feet with an asphalt surface. The airport's moderate elevation and geographic location suggest potential thermal and wind gradient considerations during approach and departure, particularly during the warmer months.

Approach Considerations

Given the predominant northeast wind direction, runway 07 may offer more favorable landing conditions in typical wind scenarios. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind components and prepare for thermal activity common in this tropical latitude. The consistently high visibility (average 10 statute miles) provides reliable visual reference during approaches.
