Weather Briefing
VFRPreguiça Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 20,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 6 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,200 ft, scattered at 20,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Winds are forecast to reach up to 25 knots during the period. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Preguiça Airport
Overview
Preguiça Airport serves the Cape Verdean island of São Nicolau, located in the Atlantic archipelago. Situated at an elevation of 669 feet mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region's local and regional aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Cape Verde's maritime tropical climate typically presents stable weather conditions with moderate temperatures and relatively predictable wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations due to the airport's moderate elevation and coastal proximity, which can influence local wind dynamics.
Notable Features
The airport features a single asphalt runway (01/19) measuring 4,593 feet in length, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical position at coordinates 16.588852, -24.284132 places it in a terrain-varied environment characteristic of São Nicolau's volcanic landscape, which may introduce potential wind shear and turbulence considerations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19's orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing maritime wind directions. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning, considering the runway's length and the surrounding topographical features that could influence approach and departure procedures.
