Weather Briefing
VFRHassi R'Mel Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 15 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 4,000 ft, scattered at 10,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature data is not available.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions between 18:00Z and 22:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations

About Hassi R'Mel Airport
Overview
Hassi R'Mel Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Algeria, situated at an elevation of 2,540 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves the Hassi R'Mel region, which is known for its significant natural gas and petroleum infrastructure. Its strategic location and substantial runway lengths make it an important facility for regional aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 91.8% of observations supporting VFR flight. Temperature ranges from -1°C to 37°C, with an average of 16.8°C, indicating potentially significant thermal variations. Winds are primarily from the southwest at 225° with an average speed of 8.8 knots, and visibility typically remains excellent at 10 statute miles.
Notable Features
Both primary runways (08/26 and 09/27) are constructed with asphalt surfaces, with the main runway 08/26 offering an impressive 9,835-foot length. The airport's elevation and geographic positioning suggest a semi-arid environment with potential for thermal and wind-related challenges. The airport demonstrates consistent wind conditions, with calm periods occurring only 4.3% of the time.
Approach Considerations
Both runways offer highly favorable wind alignments, with 100% wind compatibility for approaches. Average crosswind components remain low at approximately 5 knots, providing comfortable landing conditions. October, November, and September represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions for pilots operating at Hassi R'Mel Airport.
