Weather Briefing
IFRNéma Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with clear skies and 3.5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 8.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 16 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 12-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 3.5 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 39°C (102°F) with a dewpoint of -2°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
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Néma Airport
Néma Airport (GQNI/EMN) is located in Néma, MR at an elevation of 745 feet MSL. The airport has 1 runway (09/27), with the longest at 6,890 feet.
Weather Profile
GQNI is weather-challenged, with VFR conditions just 25.6% of the time across 696 observations. IFR/LIFR conditions are present 17.2% of the time, making an instrument rating essential for reliable access.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at GQNI come from the NE (45°) with an average speed of 11.5 knots and recorded gusts up to 124 knots. Calm winds are rare (2.5%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 09/27 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 5.4 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are September, November, December, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from 15°C (59°F) to 65°C (149°F), averaging 29.5°C (85°F). High temperatures can significantly impact aircraft performance through increased density altitude. Altimeter settings typically range from 10.14 to 10.23 inHg (343-346 hPa).
