Weather Briefing
MVFRÇukurova International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,000 feet and 7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (100°) at 3 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 3,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 21 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. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 03:00Z and 06:00Z.
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 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.

About Çukurova International Airport
Overview
Çukurova International Airport serves the Tarsus region in southern Turkey, positioned strategically near the Mediterranean coast. As a large international airport with twin parallel concrete runways, each measuring 11,482 feet, the facility provides substantial aviation infrastructure for commercial and potentially military operations in the region.
Flying Conditions
Located at a low elevation of 35 feet mean sea level, the airport experiences minimal terrain-induced weather variations. Pilots can expect relatively stable atmospheric conditions due to the airport's coastal Mediterranean location, which typically presents moderate temperature and pressure ranges throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's dual parallel runways (03L/21R and 03R/21L) offer significant operational flexibility for simultaneous approaches and departures. Its geographic coordinates at 36.890908, 35.070522 place it in a region with generally predictable wind patterns and minimal surrounding terrain obstacles.
Approach Considerations
With two identically sized concrete runways oriented 03/21, pilots have excellent landing options with consistent runway characteristics. The extensive 11,482-foot runway lengths provide ample space for diverse aircraft types, supporting comfortable approach and landing procedures for both commercial and potentially larger aircraft operations.
