Weather Briefing

VFR

Mbeya Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 842.4 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 5 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,400 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 14°C, indicating relatively dry 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.

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

About Mbeya Airport

Mbeya Airport (HTMB) is located in Mbeya, TZ at an elevation of 5,600 feet MSL, making density altitude a consideration for performance planning. The airport has 1 runway (13/31), with the longest at 4,921 feet.

Airport Overview

Mbeya Airport serves Mbeya in TZ. As a smaller airfield, services may be limited. Pilots should verify fuel availability and operating hours before arrival. The airport features 1 runway (13/31) with surface. The longest runway measures 4,921 feet, adequate for light general aviation aircraft.

Elevation Considerations

At 5600 feet MSL, density altitude is an important consideration for flight planning, particularly during summer months. Performance calculations should account for the reduced air density at this elevation.

Flight Planning

For current NOTAMs and operational information, consult the local aviation authority publications. Weather data including METAR and TAF reports are typically available from nearby reporting stations if not directly from this airport. Before flight, verify current conditions through official channels and check Jeppesen or national AIP for the latest aeronautical information.

Weather Information

When METAR observations are not available directly from HTMB, pilots can reference weather from nearby airports shown above. Consider distance and terrain differences when using alternate weather sources. For official flight planning, always use approved weather briefing services.
