Weather Briefing

MVFR

Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 3 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. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions between 06:00Z and 10:00Z.

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. 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.

About Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock Airport

Overview

Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock Airport serves the regional transportation needs in French Guiana, strategically located near the Brazilian border. The airport provides critical connectivity for this remote area, situated at an elevation of 46 feet mean sea level. Its single runway enables medium-sized aircraft operations in this geographically challenging region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's tropical equatorial location suggests consistently warm temperatures and potential for dynamic weather patterns typical of the Amazon basin. Pilots should anticipate potential rapid atmospheric changes, including localized thunderstorm development and high humidity. The airport's elevation of 46 ft MSL provides minimal terrain interference for approach and departure procedures.

Notable Features

Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock Airport features a concrete runway (04/22) measuring 3,937 feet in length, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's geographical positioning near the Oyapock River and Brazilian border creates unique navigational considerations for pilots. Surrounding terrain is predominantly tropical rainforest, which can influence local meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22 provides the primary approach avenue, with its orientation potentially influenced by prevailing wind patterns in the region. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning, considering the runway's moderate length and the surrounding tropical environment. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended given the airport's geographic complexity.
