Weather Briefing
VFRMashhad International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 12 knots. Runway 13L/31R is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 10000 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 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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 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: Thunderstorm Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 24 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 24 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 08:00Z and 16:00Z.
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 Mashhad International Airport
Overview
Mashhad International Airport serves as a critical aviation hub in northeastern Iran, located in the city of Mashhad at an elevation of 3,263 feet mean sea level. The airport features two substantial parallel asphalt runways capable of handling large aircraft operations, with runway lengths of 12,503 feet (13L/31R) and 12,877 feet (13R/31L).
Flying Conditions
The high elevation at 3,263 feet MSL and geographical location will impact aircraft performance, particularly during temperature variations. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude effects that could influence takeoff and landing distances, especially during warmer seasonal periods.
Notable Features
Mashhad International Airport's dual parallel runways provide operational flexibility for aircraft movements and accommodate different wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths support wide-body and long-haul aircraft operations, with both runways constructed of asphalt surface material.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation of 13/31 suggests prevailing wind considerations for approach and departure planning. The extended runway lengths of over 12,500 feet provide significant operational margins for various aircraft types, allowing for diverse approach and landing scenarios.
