Weather Briefing
VFRRundu Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 18°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 04:00Z and 06:00Z.
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.

About Rundu Airport
Overview
Rundu Airport serves the town of Rundu in Namibia, positioned at an elevation of 3627 ft MSL. The airport features two runways: a primary asphalt runway (08/26) of 11,004 ft and a secondary gravel runway (18/36) of 4,806 ft. Its strategic location and substantial runway length accommodate medium-sized aircraft operations in northern Namibia.
Flying Conditions
Rundu Airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 99% of observed weather supporting visual flight rules. The airport demonstrates consistent, stable meteorological characteristics with average temperatures around 26.3°C and a broad range from 14°C to 39°C. Winds typically originate from the southeast at an average of 4.5 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 18 knots and calm periods occurring 5.5% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's dual-runway configuration offers operational flexibility, with both runways experiencing 100% favorable wind conditions. The longer asphalt runway (08/26) provides significant landing and takeoff options for medium-sized aircraft. Its high elevation and geographic positioning in northern Namibia suggest potential terrain and altitude considerations for flight planning.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistently favorable wind conditions across both runways, with minimal average crosswind interference (2.8-3.2 knots). September through November represent the optimal VFR months for operations. The extensive primary runway (11,004 ft) provides substantial margin for approach and landing, particularly beneficial for aircraft operating in this regional environment.
