Weather Briefing
IFRBayelsa International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 700 feet and 7 km visibility. Note: This observation is 30.6 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 700 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,900 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Bayelsa International Airport
Overview
Bayelsa International Airport serves the Yenagoa metropolitan area in Nigeria's southern region. Located at coordinates 4.957590, 6.203327, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Bayelsa state. The airport sits at a modest elevation of 67 feet above mean sea level, positioning it in a low-altitude coastal environment.
Flying Conditions
As a coastal airport, Bayelsa International can experience variable weather conditions typical of southern Nigerian maritime regions. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity, scattered cloud formations, and occasional precipitation throughout the year. The airport's low elevation of 67 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-induced weather variations.
Notable Features
The airport features a substantial asphalt runway (06/24) measuring 12,139 feet in length, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements. Its geographic position near the Niger Delta suggests potential for complex local wind patterns and coastal meteorological dynamics. The runway's considerable length provides flexibility for various aircraft performance profiles.
Approach Considerations
Runway 06/24 offers a significant linear approach surface, allowing standard instrument and visual approach procedures. Given the runway's orientation, wind conditions will likely influence preferred landing and takeoff directions. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and approach assessments, paying particular attention to local coastal environmental factors.
