Weather Briefing
MVFRBandar Abbas International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 10 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 35°C (95°F) with a dewpoint of 27°C, indicating moderate moisture 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 30 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: Haze, Sand, BR/HZ. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Sand between 12:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with BR/HZ between 23:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Sand between 09:00Z and 15:00Z.
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.

About Bandar Abbas International Airport
Overview
Bandar Abbas International Airport serves the strategic port city of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, positioned near the Strait of Hormuz. Located at 22 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport handles significant regional aviation traffic with two substantial asphalt runways capable of supporting diverse aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological observations indicate predominantly moderate visual flight conditions, with 51.1% MVFR and 23.7% VFR conditions. Wind patterns are consistently southern, averaging 6.5 knots with occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Temperature variations are substantial, ranging from 8°C to 40°C, with an average of 24.7°C, which pilots should consider for performance calculations.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 03L/21R at 11,341 feet and 03R/21L at 12,008 feet, both with asphalt surfaces. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment and minimal average crosswind at 2.8 knots. The airport's coastal location near the Strait of Hormuz suggests potential maritime meteorological influences on local conditions.
Approach Considerations
November through January represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Visibility averages 10 statute miles with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility, and negligible fog occurrence (0.1%). Pilots can expect predictable wind conditions from the south, supporting stable approach and departure scenarios on either runway.
