Weather Briefing
VFREntebbe International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 5 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Entebbe International Airport
Overview
Entebbe International Airport serves as Uganda's primary international gateway, located approximately 37 kilometers southwest of Kampala. Positioned at an elevation of 3,782 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region with two substantial asphalt runways supporting significant passenger and cargo operations.
Flying Conditions
Uganda's equatorial location produces relatively consistent weather patterns with minimal seasonal temperature variation. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and intermittent precipitation, particularly during the March-May and October-November rainfall periods, which could impact visibility and runway surface conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 12/30 measuring 7,900 feet and 17/35 extending 12,000 feet in length. Its elevated position near Lake Victoria creates unique topographical considerations, including potential wind shear and thermal effects that pilots must carefully evaluate during approach and departure phases.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will depend on prevailing wind conditions, with the longer 17/35 runway offering enhanced operational flexibility for larger aircraft. The substantial runway lengths at 7,900 and 12,000 feet provide significant margin for diverse aircraft types, supporting both commercial passenger and cargo operations under varying meteorological circumstances.
