Weather Briefing

VFR

N'Gaoundéré Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Wind data is not available.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 500 ft, scattered at 800 ft, few at 1,000 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 18°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.

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

About N'Gaoundéré Airport

Overview

N'Gaoundéré Airport serves the urban center of N'Gaoundéré in Cameroon, positioned at an elevation of 3,655 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, supporting regional and potentially limited international operations. The airport's single runway 02/20 extends 8,858 feet with an asphalted surface.

Flying Conditions

Meteorological data indicates predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 71.4% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Temperatures range from 15°C to 39°C, averaging 27.2°C, which suggests consistent thermal conditions for most of the year. Wind patterns are predominantly from the northeast at 45 degrees, with an average speed of 4.9 knots and occasional gusts up to 14 knots.

Notable Features

The airport's significant elevation at 3,655 feet MSL suggests potential performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during warmer periods. Terrain surrounding N'Gaoundéré likely includes varied topographical features typical of central Cameroon's landscape. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude effects during high-temperature periods.

Approach Considerations

Runway 02/20 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 2.7 knots. The best visual meteorological conditions occur during November, October, and December, offering optimal flying weather. With consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles and negligible fog occurrences, approaches are typically straightforward.
