Weather Briefing

VFR

Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies. Note: This observation is 48.7 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 8 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C, indicating moderate moisture 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

Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport

Overview

Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport serves Livingstone, Zambia, positioned at an elevation of 3,302 feet above mean sea level. Located near the coordinates -17.821800, 25.822701, this medium-sized airport provides critical air access to the southern region of Zambia, connecting travelers to the renowned Victoria Falls tourism area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's substantial elevation at 3,302 feet MSL will impact aircraft performance, particularly during takeoff and landing calculations. With two runways - a primary 7,520 ft asphalt runway (10/28) and a secondary 4,501 ft bituminous runway (15/33) - pilots must carefully consider runway length, surface type, and potential density altitude effects during different seasonal conditions.

Notable Features

Positioned in southern Zambia, the airport's terrain suggests a relatively stable geographic environment with potential interaction from regional topographical features. The dual-runway configuration offers operational flexibility, allowing pilots to select runways based on wind direction and current meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28, being the longer asphalt runway, likely represents the primary operational surface for most aircraft movements. Pilots should prepare comprehensive performance calculations considering the airport's elevation and potential variations in local atmospheric conditions when planning arrivals and departures.
