Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 00:00Z.
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.

Its strategic location offers critical transportation connectivity for eastern Algeria.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Mohamed Boudiaf are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 85.2% of observations supporting VFR operations. Temperature ranges from 0°C to 35°C with an average of 13.1°C, creating generally stable flying environments. September through November represent the most consistent VFR months, characterized by stable winds averaging 7 knots from the west (270°) with occasional gusts up to 31 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways with similar wind characteristics, both experiencing 100% favorable wind conditions. Runway 13/31 measures 7,874 feet, while Runway 16/34 extends to 9,843 feet, providing substantial operational flexibility. Average crosswind components remain modest at 4.2-4.5 knots, suggesting predictable landing and takeoff conditions for most aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visual conditions.
