Weather Briefing
VFRTsumeb Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies. Note: This observation is 2 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (10°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions.
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 Tsumeb Airport
Overview
Tsumeb Airport serves the mining and regional transportation needs of northern Namibia, located in the Oshikoto region. Situated at an elevation of 4,353 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Tsumeb municipal area and surrounding agricultural and mineral resource zones.
Flying Conditions
The high-elevation airport at 4,353 ft MSL presents potential performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during warmer months. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude effects that can impact aircraft climb performance and takeoff distances, especially given the airport's geographic location in a semi-arid region of Namibia.
Notable Features
The airport features a single asphalt runway (12/30) with a length of 4,823 feet, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic coordinates at -19.261900, 17.732500 place it in a region characterized by relatively flat terrain typical of the Namibian landscape, which generally provides good visual navigation references.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30 provides a single directional approach option, with pilots needing to consider wind conditions and terrain when planning arrivals and departures. The 4,823-foot runway length requires careful performance calculations, particularly for larger aircraft or during challenging meteorological conditions.
