Weather Briefing
MVFRGrozny Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,700 feet and 9 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 8 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 km. The ceiling is 2700 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,700 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 4°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 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light Showers Rain, Fog. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Fog between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.
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.

About Grozny Airport
Overview
Grozny Airport serves the capital city of Chechnya in the Russian Federation, situated in the North Caucasus region. Located at an elevation of 548 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region. The airport supports various aviation operations with its single concrete runway measuring 8,202 feet.
Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate challenging weather conditions, with low flight rules (LIFR) predominating at 41.1% of observed conditions. The airport experiences significant temperature variation, ranging from -14°C to 27°C, with an average temperature of 6.4°C. September, October, and January offer the most favorable VFR flying conditions, with higher likelihood of clear weather.
Notable Features
The airport is positioned at coordinates 43.388106, 45.699772 in a region characterized by complex terrain. Fog is a notable weather challenge, occurring in 26.4% of observations, which can significantly impact visibility and flight operations. The single runway (08/26) provides a substantial 8,202-foot concrete surface for diverse aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
While specific wind data suggests minimal directional variation, pilots should maintain standard preparation for potential low visibility scenarios. The airport's high percentage of instrument flight conditions (IFR and LIFR at 56.2% combined) indicates the importance of thorough instrument proficiency and preparation. Typical average visibility remains good at 10 statute miles, providing reasonable operational flexibility.
