Weather Briefing
VFRMakhachkala Uytash International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 17 knots. Runway 14/32 is favored with a 17-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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 LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 06:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.
