Weather Briefing
MVFRTouggourt Sidi Madhi Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 4,000 feet and 7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 4,000 ft, scattered at 10,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 35°C (95°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 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: Drifting Sand. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Drifting Sand between 18:00Z and 22:00Z.
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 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.

About Touggourt Sidi Madhi Airport
Overview
Touggourt Sidi Madhi Airport serves the Touggourt region in Algeria, located at 33.067799, 6.088670 with an elevation of 279 feet MSL. This medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in a desert environment, supporting regional transportation and potentially local commercial and utility operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 82.7% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Wind patterns are consistently from the south (180°) at an average of 5.4 knots, with occasional gusts up to 22 knots. Temperature ranges widely from 2°C to 42°C, with an average of 18.1°C, indicating significant thermal variations typical of desert climates.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (01/19) measuring 9,843 feet with an asphalt surface, providing substantial operational flexibility. Its desert location suggests potential for rapid temperature changes and potential dust/sand conditions that could impact visibility and aircraft performance. The airport's elevation of 279 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude terrain environment.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 3.2 knots. Pilots should note the best VFR months are October, November, and September, offering optimal flying conditions. Visibility consistently averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility or fog.
