Weather Briefing
VFRMarsa Matruh International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies. Note: This observation is 1.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 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: Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 00:00Z 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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Marsa Matruh International Airport
Overview
Marsa Matruh International Airport serves the coastal region of northwestern Egypt, located near the Mediterranean Sea. As a medium-sized airport with two substantial 9,843-foot asphalted runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Marsa Matruh region. The airport sits at a low elevation of 75 feet mean sea level, offering relatively straightforward terrain considerations.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates consistently excellent flying conditions, with VFR conditions prevailing 89.7% of the time. Winds predominantly blow from the northwest at an average of 8.5 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 27 knots. Pilots can expect stable weather, particularly during September, November, and December, which represent the best VFR months with minimal visibility restrictions.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways (06/24 and 15/33) oriented to accommodate the prevailing northwest winds. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 5.6 and 5.1 knots respectively. The coastal location suggests potential maritime meteorological influences, though the data indicates remarkably consistent atmospheric conditions.
Approach Considerations
Given the northwest wind pattern, runway 06/24 will typically provide the most favorable approach conditions. Temperature variations are moderate, ranging from 9°C to 31°C with an average of 19.9°C, which should not significantly impact aircraft performance. Pilots can anticipate excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with no recorded instances of significant fog or reduced visibility.
