Weather Briefing
MVFRNakhchivan Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 10,000 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 6 knots. Runway 14L/32R is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 13:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 16:00Z and 00:00Z.
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.

About Nakhchivan Airport
Overview
Nakhchivan Airport serves the autonomous republic of Nakhchivan, located in Azerbaijan's exclave region. As a medium airport situated at 2,863 feet MSL, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this geographically isolated area. The airport features two substantial runways, each 10,826 feet long, capable of handling diverse aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 57.4% of observations in visual flight rules and an additional 27% in marginal VFR. The airport experiences moderate wind conditions, with prevailing northerly winds averaging 6.2 knots and occasional gusts up to 36 knots. Seasonal temperature variations are significant, ranging from -14°C to 34°C, with an average of 7.8°C.
Notable Features
The airport's elevated position at 2,863 feet MSL suggests potential terrain interaction and potential orographic effects. Both runways (14L/32R and 14R/32L) demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with consistently low average crosswind conditions at 3.9 knots. Visibility is generally excellent, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (1.6% of observations).
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistent VFR flying months, offering optimal approach conditions. The dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility, with near-identical wind characteristics. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature-related performance considerations given the wide thermal range and moderate elevation.
