Weather Briefing
VFRAkure Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 169.4 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 8 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C, indicating moderate moisture 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.

About Akure Airport
Overview
Akure Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in southwestern Nigeria at an elevation of 1100 feet MSL. Positioned near the city of Akure in Ondo State, the airport provides critical regional transportation infrastructure with a substantial 9,195-foot asphalt runway capable of supporting various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates predominantly favorable VFR and MVFR conditions, with 78.7% of observations supporting visual flight operations. Wind patterns are consistently westerly at 270 degrees with an average speed of 4.1 knots, and periods of calm are frequent at 36% of observations. Temperature variations are moderate, ranging from 20°C to 37°C with an average of 27.5°C.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (03/21) demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. Crosswind components are minimal, averaging just 2.3 knots, which enhances operational flexibility. The geographical positioning at 7.246740N, 5.301010E provides strategic connectivity in the region.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal flying conditions during September, October, and November, which represent the best VFR months. The runway's extensive 9,195-foot length accommodates a wide range of aircraft, and the consistent westerly winds provide predictable approach and departure conditions. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with negligible instances of reduced visibility or fog.
