Weather Briefing

LIFR

Guajará-Mirim Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,000 feet and 0.4 km visibility. Note: This observation is 3.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 13 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is severely reduced to 0.4 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 1100 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Pilot Recommendations

Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

The medium-sized airport operates at an elevation of 478 feet above mean sea level, providing essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and local operational needs.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 81.3% of observations reporting clear flying conditions and only 2.5% indicating IFR status. Wind patterns are consistently westerly at 270 degrees, averaging 5.9 knots with occasional gusts up to 17 knots. The temperature range spans from 21°C to 37°C, with an average of 29.2°C, creating stable atmospheric conditions for most operations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (17/35) measuring 5,889 feet in length, accommodating medium-sized aircraft. Its geographical location in western Brazil presents unique regional characteristics, with terrain and climate typical of the Amazonian border region. Winds strongly favor runway alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 4.1 knots.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the optimal months for VFR flying, offering the most consistent weather conditions. The runway's favorable wind alignment minimizes crosswind challenges, with near-perfect wind compatibility. Pilots should anticipate stable visibility conditions, with an average of 10 statute miles and essentially zero reported instances of fog or severely restricted visibility.
