Weather Briefing

VFR

Ho Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (260°) at 6 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,100 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Ho Airport

Overview

Ho Airport serves the Volta Region in southeastern Ghana, located near the city of Ho. As a medium-sized airport at 356 feet mean sea level, it provides regional transportation infrastructure for the surrounding administrative area. The airport supports local and regional aviation needs with its single asphalt runway.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 356 feet MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment typical of Ghana's coastal and near-coastal regions. Pilots can expect potential humidity and thermal variations common to the tropical climate zone. Seasonal wind patterns may influence runway 05/23 operations, with the 5,266-foot asphalt surface providing adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

Ho Airport's geographic positioning at coordinates 6.579691, 0.532547 places it in a region with varied terrain transitioning between coastal plains and interior highlands. The single runway (05/23) orientation suggests local topographical influences on prevailing wind directions. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal effects and localized wind behaviors characteristic of the Volta Region's landscape.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 5,266-foot length accommodates most regional and domestic aircraft types operating in Ghana. Approach considerations should account for the airport's moderate elevation and potential thermal activity in the local microclimate. Pilots should prepare for standard tropical airport conditions, paying close attention to wind direction given the runway's 05/23 orientation.
