Weather Briefing

VFR

Ordu–Giresun Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 2 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 9 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 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 20 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 23:00Z and 03:00Z.

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.

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

About Ordu–Giresun Airport

Overview

Ordu–Giresun Airport serves the northeastern coastal region of Turkey, located at an elevation of 11 ft MSL near the Black Sea. The medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Ordu and Giresun provinces, connecting the region to broader Turkish and international air networks.

Flying Conditions

Statistical data indicates highly favorable VFR conditions, with 74.3% of observations showing clear flying weather. The airport experiences a moderate temperature range from -2°C to 29°C, with an average of 13.5°C. Prevailing southwest winds at 6.6 knots create generally stable atmospheric conditions, with calm periods occurring in 22.1% of observations.

Notable Features

The single runway 10/28 stretches 9,848 feet and is constructed of asphalt, providing substantial operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Its coastal location suggests potential for rapidly changing maritime weather conditions, though the historical data demonstrates consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles with no recorded significant fog events.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28 offers excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of just 4.8 knots. Pilots will find the most consistent VFR conditions during autumn months (September, October, November), which statistically present the most stable flying weather for arrivals and departures.
