Weather Briefing
LIFRBiskra - Mohamed Khider Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 4,000 feet and 1.5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 7 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 1.5 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 4,000 ft, scattered at 10,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 38°C (100°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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 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: Blowing Sand. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Blowing Sand between 18:00Z and 22:00Z.
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.

About Biskra - Mohamed Khider Airport
Overview
Biskra - Mohamed Khider Airport serves the city of Biskra in northeastern Algeria, situated at an elevation of 289 feet MSL. The medium-sized airport provides essential regional aviation infrastructure with its single runway 13/31, measuring 9,469 feet in length and constructed with asphalt surface. Its strategic location supports both commercial and potentially military aviation operations in the region.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 86.7% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Wind patterns are consistently from the northwest (315°) at an average speed of 6.6 knots, with occasional gusts up to 46 knots. Temperature ranges from 4°C to 39°C, with an average of 18.8°C, indicating significant thermal variations that pilots should consider during flight planning.
Notable Features
Located at coordinates 34.793301, 5.738230, the airport is positioned in a region with potentially challenging desert environmental conditions. The runway demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions for runway 13/31 and an average crosswind component of only 2.2 knots. Visibility is consistently excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of restricted visibility.
Approach Considerations
October, November, and September represent the optimal months for VFR operations, offering the most stable flying conditions. Pilots should anticipate northwest wind patterns when planning approaches, with the runway well-aligned to prevailing wind directions. The low occurrence of adverse weather (IFR conditions at only 0.3%) suggests generally predictable and straightforward approach and landing scenarios.
