Weather Briefing

VFR

Gomel Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 8 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4100 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,100 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.

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: Light Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 19:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions between 12:00Z and 19:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 21:00Z and 04:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Gomel Airport

Overview

Gomel Airport serves the city of Gomel in Belarus, situated at an elevation of 472 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (10/28) extending 8,428 feet, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potential military/commercial operations in eastern Belarus.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Gomel Airport demonstrate significant variability, with instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) prevalent approximately 42.6% of the time. Pilots can expect challenging flying conditions, particularly during non-summer months, with temperature ranges spanning from -22°C to 28°C and notable potential for reduced visibility scenarios.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic location at coordinates 52.527000, 31.016701 positions it in a region with potentially complex terrain and meteorological interactions. The asphalt runway suggests standard infrastructure capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations with relatively predictable surface conditions.

Approach Considerations

With wind data indicating minimal prevailing wind characteristics, runway 10/28 provides flexible approach options. Pilots should anticipate potential instrument meteorological conditions, with historical data showing VFR conditions occurring in only 25.7% of observations, necessitating comprehensive pre-flight weather briefing and instrument proficiency.
