Weather Briefing
IFRJijel Ferhat Abbas Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,300 feet and 4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (350°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,300 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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, Fog. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 00:00Z and 09:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 02:00Z and 07:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Jijel Ferhat Abbas Airport
Overview
Jijel Ferhat Abbas Airport serves the coastal region of northeastern Algeria, situated in the Tahir district. Located at an elevation of 36 ft MSL, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Jijel province. The airport's single runway (17/35) spans 7,874 feet with an asphalt surface, supporting regional and potentially some commercial aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 90.6% of observed weather supporting VFR operations. Wind patterns are consistently from the south (180°), averaging 4.7 knots with occasional peaks up to 23 knots. Temperature variations range from 4°C to 34°C, with an average of 17°C, suggesting relatively stable thermal conditions for most of the year.
Notable Features
Positioned at coordinates 36.795101, 5.873610, the airport is located in a coastal region with potential maritime atmospheric influences. The runway alignment (17/35) suggests good wind coverage, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind of 2.3 knots. Seasonal patterns indicate optimal VFR flying conditions during autumn months, particularly September, October, and November.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistently good visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal instances of reduced visibility. The runway's orientation and wind characteristics suggest minimal wind-related approach complications. Autumn months provide the most reliable flying conditions, with high probability of VFR operations and stable meteorological parameters.
