Weather Briefing
VFRAbadan Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 36°C (97°F) with a dewpoint of 8°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: SA/DU, Dust. Winds are forecast to reach up to 22 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 22 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with SA/DU between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with SA/DU between 07:00Z and 12:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with SA/DU.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Abadan Airport
Overview
Abadan Airport serves the city of Abadan in southwestern Iran, situated near the Iraqi border. As a medium-sized airport with two substantial asphalt runways, it supports regional and potentially international air traffic. The airport's low elevation of 10 ft MSL indicates a flat terrain characteristic of the Khuzestan province.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data reveals predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 54.9% of observations showing good visual flying conditions. The prevailing northwest winds at an average of 7.2 knots provide stable approach conditions, with September, October, and January offering the most consistent weather patterns. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 2°C to 47°C, requiring pilots to prepare for potential thermal and density altitude considerations.
Notable Features
Both runways (14L/32R and 14R/32L) demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind of 3 knots. The longer runway at 10,169 ft provides ample landing and takeoff distance for most aircraft types. Located in a relatively flat region, the airport environment offers predictable terrain and minimal obstruction challenges for pilots.
Approach Considerations
Given the consistent northwest wind pattern, approaches on either runway 14 or 32 should be straightforward under most conditions. The high visibility average of 10 statute miles and low fog occurrence (7.1%) suggest generally clear approach conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential temperature extremes that might impact aircraft performance, particularly during summer months.
