Weather Briefing
MVFRN'Gaoundéré Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,200 feet and 8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 13.8 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Wind data is not available.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,200 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About N'Gaoundéré Airport
Overview
N'Gaoundéré Airport serves the urban center of N'Gaoundéré in Cameroon, positioned at an elevation of 3,655 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, supporting regional and potentially limited international operations. The airport's single runway 02/20 extends 8,858 feet with an asphalted surface.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 71.4% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Temperatures range from 15°C to 39°C, averaging 27.2°C, which suggests consistent thermal conditions for most of the year. Wind patterns are predominantly from the northeast at 45 degrees, with an average speed of 4.9 knots and occasional gusts up to 14 knots.
Notable Features
The airport's significant elevation at 3,655 feet MSL suggests potential performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during warmer periods. Terrain surrounding N'Gaoundéré likely includes varied topographical features typical of central Cameroon's landscape. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude effects during high-temperature periods.
Approach Considerations
Runway 02/20 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 2.7 knots. The best visual meteorological conditions occur during November, October, and December, offering optimal flying weather. With consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles and negligible fog occurrences, approaches are typically straightforward.
