Horizontal visibility over the city and the airport is often degraded, especially during the wet season, due to the combination of humidity, heat and pollution.
Rain comes typically as a tropical downpour from frequent cumolonimbus clouds, mostly present in the afternoon, and sharply decreases the visibility, that can temporarily be as low as 1 Km or less.
