Weather Briefing
MVFRMaun Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 5 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 19°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. 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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 03:00Z and 12:00Z.
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 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 Maun Airport
Overview
Maun Airport serves as a critical aviation gateway in Botswana, located at an elevation of 3093 ft MSL near the town of Maun. Positioned at coordinates -19.970491, 23.431409, this medium-sized airport facilitates regional transportation and supports operations in northern Botswana's significant tourism and wildlife regions.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Maun Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight, with 84.2% of observations in VFR conditions. The prevailing easterly winds average 7.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 30 knots, and temperatures ranging from 14°C to 38°C with a mean of 26.3°C. September through November represent the most consistently good VFR flying months.
Notable Features
The single runway 08/26 is 6562 feet long with an asphalt surface, accommodating a variety of aircraft types. Wind analysis indicates 100% favorable wind coverage for the runway, with an average crosswind component of only 4 knots. The airport's relatively high elevation and geographic location suggest potential thermal and convective weather considerations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 offers consistent wind alignment, making approaches predictable for most wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate easterly winds and prepare for potential temperature-related performance considerations at the 3093 ft elevation. Standard VFR approaches are viable in over 84% of observed conditions, with minimal risk of low visibility or instrument meteorological conditions.
