Weather Briefing
VFRViracopos International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 7,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 7000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 5,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 22 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: Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Mist. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 4 to 20 knots. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 07:00Z and 10:00Z.
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.

About Viracopos International Airport
Overview
Viracopos International Airport serves the Campinas metropolitan area in Brazil, positioned strategically in São Paulo state at 2170 ft MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a substantial 10,630 ft runway, it supports significant regional and cargo aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Viracopos are predominantly favorable for flight, with 87.7% of observations indicating VFR conditions. The airport experiences consistent southeastern winds averaging 9.1 knots, with temperatures ranging from 11°C to 37°C and excellent average visibility of 10 statute miles. September, November, and January offer the most stable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (15/33) demonstrates exceptional wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Its high elevation at 2170 ft MSL and location near Campinas creates potential for moderate terrain interactions and temperature variability. The runway's substantial 10,630 ft length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect minimal crosswind challenges, with an average crosswind of just 4.1 knots on the primary runway. Wind predominantly originates from the southeast at 135 degrees, providing consistent approach predictability. With only 3.6% of observations indicating IFR conditions, visual approaches are highly probable throughout the year.
