Weather Briefing

VFR

Uralsk Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (90°) at 8 knots. Runway 04/22 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 5000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 5,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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. 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: Light Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 15:00Z and 17:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 00:00Z.

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 Uralsk Airport

Overview

Uralsk Airport serves the city of Uralsk in Kazakhstan, located at coordinates 51.150799, 51.543098. The medium-sized airport sits at an elevation of 125 feet above mean sea level, supporting regional transportation needs in western Kazakhstan. Its primary runway 04/22 extends 9,183 feet with a concrete surface.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect highly variable visual flight conditions, with VFR conditions occurring 49.3% of the time. The airport experiences significant seasonal temperature variations, ranging from -28°C to 32°C, with an average temperature of 1.1°C. Fog is present 13.3% of the time, and September, October, and January offer the most consistent VFR conditions.

Notable Features

The airport is situated in a region with relatively flat terrain typical of the West Kazakhstan Region. Its geographical location suggests potential for wind variability, though the provided data shows minimal wind characteristics. The airport's medium classification indicates it can handle a range of aircraft types and support diverse operational requirements.

Approach Considerations

The single runway (04/22) provides flexibility for approaches depending on current conditions. With a substantial runway length of 9,183 feet, the airport can accommodate most medium to large aircraft. Pilots should be prepared for potential visibility and temperature challenges, particularly during months with higher probability of IFR (13.8%) or LIFR (21.3%) conditions.
