Weather Briefing
VFRBobo Dioulasso Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft, few at 3,300 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,300 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 23°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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: Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 02:00Z.
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 Bobo Dioulasso Airport
Overview
Bobo Dioulasso Airport serves the second-largest city in Burkina Faso, located in the southwestern part of the country. As a medium-sized airport with a substantial runway of 10,826 feet, it supports regional and potentially international commercial and cargo operations. The airport sits at an elevation of 1,511 feet above mean sea level, providing consistent operational parameters for aircraft.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 70.9% of observations showing clear weather and an additional 25.5% in marginal VFR. Winds are consistently from the northeast at an average of 5.4 knots, with occasional gusts up to 25 knots. Temperature variations are moderate, ranging from 14°C to 36°C with an average of 26.2°C, which provides stable flying conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
The single runway (06/24) is constructed of asphalt and offers excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. The airport's geographical location suggests relatively flat terrain typical of the Sudanian savanna region. Pilots should note the consistent visibility of approximately 10 statute miles, with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility or fog.
Approach Considerations
Runway 06/24 presents minimal crosswind challenges, with an average crosswind of only 2.9 knots. September, October, and December represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate stable approach conditions with high predictability of wind direction and speed, making for reliable landing and takeoff parameters.
