Weather Briefing
MVFRInhambane Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 800 ft, scattered at 2,000 ft, scattered at 2,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Rain between 01:00Z and 07:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Inhambane Airport
Overview
Inhambane Airport serves the coastal region of Mozambique, located in the southeastern part of the country. Situated at a low elevation of 30 ft MSL, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Inhambane province, supporting regional and local aviation needs. The airport features two runways, offering operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Inhambane Airport are predominantly VFR, with 67.7% of observations supporting visual flight rules. Prevailing winds from the northeast at an average of 10.2 knots create generally stable flying conditions, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Temperature variations are moderate, ranging from 15°C to 33°C, with an average of 26.5°C, providing consistent thermal conditions for most operations.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical location near the coast influences its meteorological characteristics, with consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles and no reported fog incidents. Both runways (06/24 and 16/34) demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with modest average crosswind components of 5.5 and 6.9 knots respectively. The surface is comprised of San (06/24) and asphalt (16/34) materials, supporting diverse aircraft requirements.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should note the most favorable VFR months are November, December, and September, which offer optimal flying conditions. The northeast prevailing winds at 45 degrees suggest predictable approach and departure patterns. Both runways provide suitable landing options with lengths of 2,625 ft (06/24) and 4,921 ft (16/34), accommodating a range of aircraft sizes and operational needs.
