Weather Briefing

VFR

Mopti Ambodédjo International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 7.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 15 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 14-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft, few at 3,300 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,300 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

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

Located at coordinates 14.512800, -4.079560, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potential military/humanitarian operations in central Mali.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at GAMB are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 87.9% of observations supporting VFR operations. The airport experiences consistent northerly winds averaging 7 knots, with maximum gusts up to 26 knots. Temperature variations range significantly from 11°C to 40°C, with an average of 29.9°C, indicating potential thermal considerations for aircraft performance.

Notable Features

The single runway 05/23 is 8,340 feet long with an asphalt surface, offering substantial landing and takeoff capabilities. Wind data indicates 100% favorable wind conditions for this runway, with an average crosswind component of only 4.4 knots. The airport's elevation and geographic position suggest potential thermal and terrain-related airflow dynamics typical of the Malian plateau region.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during October, September, and December, with consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The prevailing northerly winds and low crosswind components provide predictable approach conditions. Standard caution is advised regarding temperature extremes and potential seasonal variations in local atmospheric conditions.
