Weather Briefing
LIFRUgolny Yuri Ryktheu Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with few clouds at 100 feet and 0.6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.6 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 100 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -6°C (21°F) with a dewpoint of -6°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 25 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: Freezing Fog. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Freezing Fog between 14:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Ugolny Yuri Ryktheu Airport
Overview
Ugolny Yuri Ryktheu Airport serves the remote northeastern Russian city of Anadyr, located in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. Situated at an elevation of 194 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport is a critical transportation hub for the isolated Chukotka region, providing essential connectivity to this challenging Arctic environment.
Flying Conditions
Weather at UHMA demonstrates significant variability, with multiple instrument flight conditions prevalent. Historical data shows that Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions occur 61.4% of the time, while Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) are significant, with IFR and LIFR conditions present 28.9% of observations. Pilots should anticipate temperature ranges from -36°C to 12°C, with an average of -8.9°C, and expect fog in approximately 15.1% of observations.
Notable Features
The airport features a substantial concrete runway (02/20) measuring 11,483 feet, capable of accommodating larger aircraft operations. Its high-latitude location at 64.7° North creates unique operational challenges, including extended periods of reduced daylight and potential extreme weather conditions typical of the Arctic coastal region.
Approach Considerations
Given the limited wind data provided, specific wind-based approach recommendations are constrained. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility scenarios, with an average visibility of 10 statute miles. September, October, and November represent the most favorable months for visual flight operations based on the historical meteorological profile.
