Weather Briefing
VFRBirjand International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (100°) at 8 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft (CB), scattered at 3,500 ft. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 1°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Sand. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain, Sand between 15:00Z and 17:00Z.
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 Birjand International Airport
Overview
Birjand International Airport serves the urban center of Birjand in southeastern Iran. Located at an elevation of 4,952 feet MSL, the airport provides medium-sized airport infrastructure with two substantial asphalted runways. Its strategic location supports regional transportation and connectivity in this mountainous area of Iran.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences highly predictable VFR conditions, with 93% of observations showing visual flight rules. Temperature ranges from -11°C to 37°C, creating diverse seasonal flying environments. Prevailing winds from the east (90 degrees) average 7.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 23 knots, and calm conditions occurring 6.9% of the time.
Notable Features
Situated at a significant elevation of 4,952 feet, Birjand Airport requires careful performance calculations for aircraft operations. Both runways (08/26 and 10/28) offer extensive lengths over 7,000 feet, accommodating a variety of aircraft types. The geographical coordinates (32.896525, 59.281258) place the airport in a region with potential terrain considerations for approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Both primary runways demonstrate exceptional wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Runway 08/26 experiences an average crosswind of 3.5 knots, while runway 10/28 sees slightly lower crosswind conditions at 2.9 knots. Pilots can expect consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visual conditions.
