Weather Briefing
MVFRNizhnevartovsk Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 10 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2500 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 3°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 fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Light Showers Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 03:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Nizhnevartovsk Airport
Overview
Nizhnevartovsk Airport serves the oil-rich region of western Siberia, located in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Russia. The medium-sized airport supports critical transportation infrastructure for the local energy industry, connecting Nizhnevartovsk with other regional and national destinations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect highly variable weather conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 59.5% of observations. Marginal VFR and Instrument Flight Rules conditions are also common, comprising 18.1% and 15.7% of recorded weather, respectively. The extreme temperature range from -42°C to 20°C demands careful preflight planning and equipment considerations.
Notable Features
The airport sits at a modest elevation of 177 feet mean sea level, positioned in a flat, potentially challenging Arctic/subarctic landscape. The single runway 03/21 provides a substantial 10,499-foot asphalt surface, suitable for supporting medium to large aircraft operations in this remote Siberian region.
Approach Considerations
With minimal wind data provided, standard runway operations are likely. The airport experiences minimal fog (3.5% of observations) and maintains good average visibility of 10 statute miles. September, January, and December represent the most consistent Visual Flight Rules months for pilots planning operations to Nizhnevartovsk.
