Weather Briefing

MVFR

Uralsk Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 8 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 14°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 03:00Z.

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. 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 Uralsk Airport

Overview

Uralsk Airport serves the city of Uralsk in Kazakhstan, located at coordinates 51.150799, 51.543098. The medium-sized airport sits at an elevation of 125 feet above mean sea level, supporting regional transportation needs in western Kazakhstan. Its primary runway 04/22 extends 9,183 feet with a concrete surface.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect highly variable visual flight conditions, with VFR conditions occurring 49.3% of the time. The airport experiences significant seasonal temperature variations, ranging from -28°C to 32°C, with an average temperature of 1.1°C. Fog is present 13.3% of the time, and September, October, and January offer the most consistent VFR conditions.

Notable Features

The airport is situated in a region with relatively flat terrain typical of the West Kazakhstan Region. Its geographical location suggests potential for wind variability, though the provided data shows minimal wind characteristics. The airport's medium classification indicates it can handle a range of aircraft types and support diverse operational requirements.

Approach Considerations

The single runway (04/22) provides flexibility for approaches depending on current conditions. With a substantial runway length of 9,183 feet, the airport can accommodate most medium to large aircraft. Pilots should be prepared for potential visibility and temperature challenges, particularly during months with higher probability of IFR (13.8%) or LIFR (21.3%) conditions.
