Weather Briefing
MVFRHassi R'Mel Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,300 feet and 7 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 8 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 3300 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 3°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 25 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 25 knots. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Hassi R'Mel Airport
Overview
Hassi R'Mel Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Algeria, situated at an elevation of 2,540 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves the Hassi R'Mel region, which is known for its significant natural gas and petroleum infrastructure. Its strategic location and substantial runway lengths make it an important facility for regional aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 91.8% of observations supporting VFR flight. Temperature ranges from -1°C to 37°C, with an average of 16.8°C, indicating potentially significant thermal variations. Winds are primarily from the southwest at 225° with an average speed of 8.8 knots, and visibility typically remains excellent at 10 statute miles.
Notable Features
Both primary runways (08/26 and 09/27) are constructed with asphalt surfaces, with the main runway 08/26 offering an impressive 9,835-foot length. The airport's elevation and geographic positioning suggest a semi-arid environment with potential for thermal and wind-related challenges. The airport demonstrates consistent wind conditions, with calm periods occurring only 4.3% of the time.
Approach Considerations
Both runways offer highly favorable wind alignments, with 100% wind compatibility for approaches. Average crosswind components remain low at approximately 5 knots, providing comfortable landing conditions. October, November, and September represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions for pilots operating at Hassi R'Mel Airport.
