Weather Briefing
MVFRPeshawar International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 10,000 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 6 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,000 ft, scattered at 10,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Haze, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Peshawar International Airport
Overview
Peshawar International Airport serves the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in northwestern Pakistan. Located at 1,158 feet mean sea level, the airport supports regional and international commercial aviation operations. The single runway (17/35) measures 9,000 feet with an asphalt surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft.
Flying Conditions
Weather at Peshawar presents significant instrument flight conditions, with 60.2% of observations requiring IFR and 16.9% indicating low IFR conditions. Temperature variations range dramatically from 1°C to 37°C, with an average of 18.5°C. Winds predominantly blow from the northwest at an average of 5.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 40 knots, though calm conditions are observed 57.6% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical positioning in northwestern Pakistan creates unique atmospheric conditions influenced by regional terrain. Runway 17/35 demonstrates extremely favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and a minimal average crosswind of 3 knots. Visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with rare instances of restricted visibility.
Approach Considerations
November, January, and October represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate predominant northwest winds and prepare for potential instrument conditions. The runway's significant length and minimal crosswind provide flexible approach options across most meteorological scenarios.
