Weather Briefing

MVFR

Asaba International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 4.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (190°) at 6 knots. Runway 11/29 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1100 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Asaba International Airport

Overview

Asaba International Airport serves Delta State in southern Nigeria, located near the city of Asaba. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 305 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and economic connectivity in the Niger Delta region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 305 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment typical of the Niger Delta's coastal plains. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and tropical weather patterns common to this geographical region, which can influence visibility and potential thermal activity during approach and departure.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial runway 11/29 measuring 11,155 feet in length, constructed with asphalt (ASP) surfacing. Its geographic coordinates at 6.204167, 6.665278 place the airport in a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Nigerian coastal zone, which generally provides straightforward navigational considerations.

Approach Considerations

With a runway length of 11,155 feet, the airport offers ample landing and takeoff distance for most medium-sized aircraft operations. The runway orientation of 11/29 suggests potential wind alignment variations that pilots should assess during pre-flight planning and approach preparations.
