Weather Briefing
VFRMoi International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 7 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,600 ft (CB), scattered at 2,700 ft. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Moi International Airport
Overview
Moi International Airport serves as a primary aviation gateway for Mombasa, Kenya, located on the coastal region at an elevation of 200 feet mean sea level. The airport supports large aircraft operations with its substantial runway infrastructure, featuring two paved surfaces that accommodate diverse aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Coastal Kenya experiences tropical maritime weather characterized by significant humidity and potential convective activity. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal development and possible thunderstorm formations, particularly during the March-May and October-December rainy seasons, which could impact visibility and wind conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic positioning near the Indian Ocean coastline presents unique meteorological considerations for aviators. The substantial primary runway (03/21) measuring 10,991 feet provides significant operational flexibility for large aircraft, while the secondary runway (15/33) at 4,473 feet offers additional approach and departure options.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21's extended length suggests it is the primary operational surface, likely preferred for larger commercial and international aircraft movements. Wind patterns and terrain will influence specific approach strategies, with pilots recommended to obtain current meteorological briefings to assess precise runway selection and potential wind gradient conditions.
