Weather Briefing
VFRGomel Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 9 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 6 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 km. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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. 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 Mist between 20:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

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.
