Weather Briefing
IFRSalalah Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,400 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 600 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Drizzle, Mist, Light Drizzle. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Drizzle, Mist between 22:00Z and 04:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Salalah Airport
Overview
Salalah Airport serves the city of Salalah in Oman, situated at an elevation of 73 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with two runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the southern region of Oman. The airport's strategic location and substantial primary runway (07/25 at 13,114 ft) support diverse aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates exceptionally stable flying conditions, with 83.7% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Prevailing winds from the north at an average of 6.7 knots create consistently favorable approach environments. Temperature ranges between 17°C and 36°C, with an average of 25.8°C, suggesting predictable thermal conditions for flight operations.
Notable Features
The airport features two distinct runways: a primary asphalt runway (07/25) and a secondary green runway (17/35). Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. The primary runway's substantial 13,114-foot length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements.
Approach Considerations
Wind statistics suggest minimal crosswind challenges, with average crosswind components of 5.7 knots on runway 07/25 and 2.3 knots on runway 17/35. October, November, and January represent the most consistently favorable months for VFR operations. Pilots can expect reliable visibility averaging 10 statute miles with negligible instances of reduced meteorological conditions.
