Weather Briefing

VFR

Dushanbe International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (90°) at 6 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4600 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,100 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 Thunderstorm Rain, Light Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 16:00Z and 06:00Z.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Dushanbe International Airport

Overview

Dushanbe International Airport serves as the primary airport for Tajikistan's capital city, located in the southwestern part of the country. Situated at an elevation of 2,575 feet MSL, the airport supports medium-level aviation operations with a substantial runway measuring 10,170 feet in length. Its geographical coordinates at 38.543746, 68.822977 position it in a strategic location within Central Asia.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Dushanbe International demonstrate significant variability, with instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions present approximately 33.9% of the time. Historical meteorological data indicates temperature ranges from -9°C to 38°C, with an average of 12.8°C. Pilots can expect particularly favorable visual flight conditions during September, October, and December, which statistically offer the most consistent VFR weather patterns.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (09/27) is constructed of asphalt, providing a robust surface for aircraft operations. Its high-altitude location and regional terrain suggest potential considerations for aircraft performance and approach strategies. While specific detailed terrain information is not provided, pilots should anticipate potential mountain-influenced meteorological and operational dynamics typical of Central Asian airports.

Approach Considerations

Visibility at Dushanbe International averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (fog occurs in only 1.7% of observations). The comprehensive weather data indicates extremely low wind variability, though pilots should conduct standard pre-flight wind assessments. Standard instrument approach preparations should be conducted with awareness of the potential for moderate instrument meteorological conditions.
