Weather Briefing
MVFRKoltsovo Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (0°) at 0 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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 24 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: Fog. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Fog between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 07:00Z and 15:00Z.
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. 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 Koltsovo Airport
Overview
Koltsovo Airport serves as a critical aviation hub in the Ural region, located in Yekaterinburg, Russia. As a large airport with two substantial runways (8,192ft and 9,925ft), it supports significant commercial and potentially military aviation operations in this strategically important central Russian area.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect varied visual flight conditions throughout the year, with 45.9% VFR, 31.3% MVFR, and 22.7% instrument conditions. Temperature ranges dramatically from -37°C to 23°C, with an average of -3.4°C, indicating significant seasonal temperature variations that require careful pre-flight planning and potential aircraft performance considerations.
Notable Features
Situated at 764 feet mean sea level, Koltsovo Airport is positioned in a relatively flat region of the Ural Mountain adjacent area. The airport's elevation and geographic position suggest potential for wind variations and potential turbulence, though specific wind data in the provided statistics shows minimal prevailing wind characteristics.
Approach Considerations
The airport features two parallel runways (08L/26R and 08R/26L) with substantial lengths accommodating large aircraft operations. With an average visibility of 10 statute miles and only 11.7% fog occurrence, approaches are generally favorable, with September, October, and December presenting the most consistent visual meteorological conditions for flight operations.
