Weather Briefing
VFRQuelimane Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Wind data is not available.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,800 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 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: Light Rain. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Light Rain between 06:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Quelimane Airport
Overview
Quelimane Airport serves the provincial capital of Zambezia in Mozambique, located on the country's central coastal region. As a medium-sized airport with two runways, it provides critical regional transportation infrastructure at an elevation of 36 feet above mean sea level, supporting both commercial and potentially agricultural/regional aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Quelimane Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 65.8% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. The airport experiences relatively stable wind patterns, with a prevailing northerly wind at an average of 5 knots and calm conditions occurring 50% of the time. Temperature ranges from 15°C to 39°C, with an average of 27°C, providing consistent thermal conditions for most operations.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 2,980-foot gravel runway (09/27) and a 5,905-foot asphalt runway (18/36). Its low elevation and coastal location suggest relatively flat terrain surrounding the airport. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, which provides consistent and predictable approach conditions for pilots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with extremely rare occurrences of reduced visibility (less than 3SM). September, October, and January represent the best months for VFR flying, offering optimal meteorological conditions. The runways exhibit minimal crosswind challenges, with average crosswind components of 4.9 knots for runway 09/27 and just 0.9 knots for runway 18/36.
