Weather Briefing
MVFRDalaman International 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 east-northeast (60°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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: Light Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions between 03:00Z and 07:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 11:00Z and 15:00Z.
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 Dalaman International Airport
Overview
Dalaman International Airport serves the southwestern Turkish coastal region, strategically located near popular tourist destinations in the Mugla Province. The airport handles significant passenger traffic, particularly during peak tourism seasons, and provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region. Its single runway of 9,842 feet accommodates large commercial aircraft with ample operational capacity.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 92.5% of observations indicating VFR weather. Temperature variations range from 1°C to 36°C, with an average of 16.2°C, suggesting significant seasonal temperature differences. Wind patterns are consistently from the northeast at an average of 7.3 knots, with maximum gusts up to 30 knots, requiring modest crosswind management skills.
Notable Features
The airport is situated at a low elevation of 20 feet mean sea level, indicating minimal terrain challenges for approach and departure. Its coastal location near the Mediterranean suggests potential maritime meteorological influences, though the statistical data shows extremely low occurrence of fog (0.2%) and consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The concrete runway (01/19) provides stable surface conditions across varying weather scenarios.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 3.5 knots. September, October, and November represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions. Pilots should anticipate stable approach conditions with minimal weather-related operational restrictions based on the comprehensive meteorological profile.
