Weather Briefing

LIFR

Blida Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 400 feet and 0.65 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (80°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is severely reduced to 0.65 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 22 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist, Fog. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 20:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 22:00Z and 04:00Z.

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. 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 Blida Airport

Overview

Blida Airport serves the region surrounding Blida, Algeria, functioning as a medium-sized airport located at 36.503601° N, 2.814170° E. Situated at an elevation of 535 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area and regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 535 ft MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment with potentially variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate standard Mediterranean climate patterns typical to northern Algeria, which can include temperature variations and potential crosswind scenarios on the primary runway.

Notable Features

The single runway (06/24) measures 5,833 feet in length and is constructed with an asphalt surface. Its orientation suggests potential wind alignment challenges, with east-west runway heading that may experience crosswind components depending on prevailing meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 06/24 provides a standard approach environment with 5,833 feet of available landing surface. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and velocity when selecting runway direction, considering potential crosswind components inherent to the runway's east-west orientation.
