Weather Briefing
MVFRSoroti Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.7 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 6 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2100 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,300 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 18°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain.
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 Soroti Airport
Overview
Soroti Airport serves the eastern region of Uganda, situated at an elevation of 3,697 feet above mean sea level. Located near the city of Soroti, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the surrounding area. Its two runways offer flexibility for various aircraft operations in the region.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 78.9% of observations supporting visual flight rules. Winds are consistently from the east at an average of 5.3 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 14 knots. Temperature ranges from 20°C to 35°C, with an average of 28.1°C, providing generally stable atmospheric conditions for pilots.
Notable Features
Both runways (05/23 and 09/27) demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. The primary runway 05/23 is an asphalt surface measuring 6,100 feet, while the secondary runway 09/27 is a gravel surface of 2,525 feet. The airport's elevation and geographical location suggest potential terrain considerations for approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistent easterly winds, with minimal crosswind components averaging 3 knots on the primary runway and 2.8 knots on the secondary runway. November, January, and October represent the best months for VFR operations, offering optimal flying conditions. The stable visibility averaging 10 statute miles provides reliable visual reference for approaches and departures.
