Weather Briefing

MVFR

Dushanbe International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,000 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (80°) at 8 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 24 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, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 16:00Z and 12:00Z.

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 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.

About Dushanbe International Airport

Overview

Dushanbe International Airport serves as the primary airport for Tajikistan's capital city, located in the southwestern part of the country. Situated at an elevation of 2,575 feet MSL, the airport supports medium-level aviation operations with a substantial runway measuring 10,170 feet in length. Its geographical coordinates at 38.543746, 68.822977 position it in a strategic location within Central Asia.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Dushanbe International demonstrate significant variability, with instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions present approximately 33.9% of the time. Historical meteorological data indicates temperature ranges from -9°C to 38°C, with an average of 12.8°C. Pilots can expect particularly favorable visual flight conditions during September, October, and December, which statistically offer the most consistent VFR weather patterns.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (09/27) is constructed of asphalt, providing a robust surface for aircraft operations. Its high-altitude location and regional terrain suggest potential considerations for aircraft performance and approach strategies. While specific detailed terrain information is not provided, pilots should anticipate potential mountain-influenced meteorological and operational dynamics typical of Central Asian airports.

Approach Considerations

Visibility at Dushanbe International averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (fog occurs in only 1.7% of observations). The comprehensive weather data indicates extremely low wind variability, though pilots should conduct standard pre-flight wind assessments. Standard instrument approach preparations should be conducted with awareness of the potential for moderate instrument meteorological conditions.
