Weather Briefing
MVFROran Tafraoui Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,600 feet and 8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 12 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 11-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,300 ft, scattered at 2,600 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Oran Tafraoui Airport
Overview
Oran Tafraoui Airport serves the Oran region in northwestern Algeria as a medium-sized airport situated at 367 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 35.542400, -0.532278, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, with a substantial 9037-foot asphalted runway oriented 08/26.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Oran Tafraoui are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 73.9% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Winds predominantly blow from the west at an average of 9.1 knots, with temperature ranges spanning from 1°C to 37°C and an average of 17.4°C. October, November, and September represent the most consistent VFR months for operations.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 08/26 demonstrates exceptional wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and a minimal average crosswind of 3.7 knots. Visibility consistently remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility (fog present in only 0.2% of observations).
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect predictable approach conditions with high probability of visual meteorological conditions. The west-prevailing winds suggest runway 26 might offer slightly more comfortable landing characteristics, though the statistical wind data indicates minimal crosswind challenges. Instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions are infrequent, occurring in just 2.7% of observations.
