Weather Briefing
MVFRTabriz International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 13 knots. Runway 12L/30R is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 13-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light RA/BR. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 00:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light RA/BR between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light RA/BR between 10:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Tabriz International Airport
Overview
Tabriz International Airport serves the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz, situated at a significant elevation of 4,459 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized international airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the East Azerbaijan province, connecting regional and international air traffic. The airport features two substantial concrete and asphalt runways capable of handling a wide range of aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Tabriz demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) predominating 60.9% of observations. Pilots can expect moderate temperature ranges from -12°C to 31°C, with an average of 8.4°C. Wind patterns are predominantly from the northeast at 45 degrees, with an average speed of 6.2 knots and occasional strong gusts up to 62 knots. September, October, and January offer the most stable VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation at 4,459 feet MSL presents unique performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during temperature extremes. Both runways (12L/30R and 12R/30L) offer nearly identical wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and consistent average crosswinds of 4.7 knots. The geographical location in northwestern Iran suggests potential complex terrain and meteorological interactions typical of mountainous regions.
Approach Considerations
With two parallel runways measuring 11,825 and 11,537 feet respectively, Tabriz International Airport provides flexible approach options. Pilots should anticipate predominantly northeast winds and prepare for potential variability. The consistently low occurrence of extreme weather (minimal fog at 1.8% and zero instances of visibility below 3 statute miles) suggests generally reliable approach conditions throughout the year.
