Weather Briefing
VFRHmeimim Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 19 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 18-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Winds are forecast to reach up to 23 knots during the period. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 10:00Z and 14:00Z.
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 Hmeimim Air Base
Hmeimim Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the SY AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Hmeimim Air Base is situated in the coastal region of Latakia, Syria, serving as a strategically important military aviation facility. Located at coordinates 35.401100, 35.948700, the base operates at an elevation of 157 feet above mean sea level. Its medium-sized infrastructure supports regional military aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The base's coastal location near the Mediterranean suggests potential for variable maritime weather conditions, including potential sea breezes and atmospheric moisture. At 157 feet MSL, the elevation indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with minimal terrain interference. Pilots should anticipate potential rapid weather shifts typical of coastal Syrian regions.
Notable Features
Hmeimim Air Base features a single runway (17/35) measuring 9,175 feet long with an asphalt surface (ASP). The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, particularly given the geographic location near coastal terrain. The substantial runway length accommodates a variety of military aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 17/35's substantial length of 9,175 feet provides flexibility for approach and landing procedures. Given the runway's orientation, pilots should prepare for potential crosswind scenarios, especially during seasonal wind pattern changes. Standard military approach protocols and terrain awareness are critical when operating at this facility.
