Weather Briefing
LIFRGomel Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 400 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (10°) 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 very low at 400 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 18°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. 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: Mist, Light Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 08:00Z and 17:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions between 08:00Z and 13:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 19:00Z and 04:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Gomel Airport
Overview
Gomel Airport serves the city of Gomel in Belarus, situated at an elevation of 472 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (10/28) extending 8,428 feet, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potential military/commercial operations in eastern Belarus.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Gomel Airport demonstrate significant variability, with instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) prevalent approximately 42.6% of the time. Pilots can expect challenging flying conditions, particularly during non-summer months, with temperature ranges spanning from -22°C to 28°C and notable potential for reduced visibility scenarios.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic location at coordinates 52.527000, 31.016701 positions it in a region with potentially complex terrain and meteorological interactions. The asphalt runway suggests standard infrastructure capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations with relatively predictable surface conditions.
Approach Considerations
With wind data indicating minimal prevailing wind characteristics, runway 10/28 provides flexible approach options. Pilots should anticipate potential instrument meteorological conditions, with historical data showing VFR conditions occurring in only 25.7% of observations, necessitating comprehensive pre-flight weather briefing and instrument proficiency.
