Weather Briefing
VFRKogalym International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 10 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,000 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 10°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 03:00Z and 21:00Z.
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.

About Kogalym International Airport
Overview
Kogalym International Airport serves the oil and gas industrial region of western Siberia, located in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug of Russia. Positioned at 62.190399N, 74.533798E, the airport supports critical transportation infrastructure for the surrounding hydrocarbon extraction zones. As a medium airport with significant runway capacity, it facilitates both commercial and industrial aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport sits at 220 feet mean sea level, which indicates a relatively low-elevation environment typical of the West Siberian Plain. Given its northern latitude at 62 degrees, pilots should anticipate significant seasonal temperature variations and potential challenging winter meteorological conditions. Extended daylight during summer months and limited daylight during winter will impact visual flight considerations.
Notable Features
The single concrete runway (17/35) spans 8,225 feet, providing substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for medium-sized aircraft. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, particularly during seasonal wind pattern shifts. The surrounding terrain is likely characterized by flat, potentially marshy landscape consistent with the West Siberian region's geographic profile.
Approach Considerations
Runway 17/35's considerable length allows flexibility for diverse aircraft types and weights operating in this industrial region. Pilots should prepare for potential wind variability given the open terrain and northern latitude. Standard instrument approach procedures will be critical, particularly during reduced visibility periods common in this geographic zone.
