Weather Briefing
VFRDoha International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (100°) at 7 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 34°C (93°F) with a dewpoint of 28°C, indicating moderate moisture 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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 15:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 22:00Z and 06:00Z.
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 Doha International Airport
Overview
Doha International Airport (OTBD) serves as a medium-sized airport located in Doha, Qatar, positioned at 25.261101, 51.565102 with an elevation of 35 feet mean sea level. The airport features a single runway 15/33, which spans 15,000 feet with an asphalt surface, supporting various aviation operations in the region.
Flying Conditions
Statistical observations indicate highly favorable flying conditions, with 87.5% of METAR reports indicating VFR conditions and minimal IFR occurrences. Prevailing winds from the north (0°) average 7 knots, with occasional peaks to 22 knots, and rare calm periods of 1.9%. Temperature ranges from 12°C to 45°C, with an average of 26°C, suggesting significant thermal variations pilots should anticipate.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 15/33 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and a low average crosswind of 3.2 knots. Visibility consistently remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with no recorded instances of fog or significant visibility restrictions. October, November, and January represent the most optimal VFR months for operations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect predictable approach conditions given the consistent wind patterns and high percentage of VFR weather. The runway's substantial 15,000-foot length provides ample landing and takeoff space, with north-oriented winds generally supporting straightforward approach and departure procedures. The low elevation and stable atmospheric conditions contribute to generally predictable flight operations.
