Weather Briefing
IFRGomel Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 10 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 700 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 700 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Fog. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 08:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Fog between 20:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.

About Gomel Airport
Overview
Gomel Airport serves the city of Gomel in Belarus, situated at an elevation of 472 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (10/28) extending 8,428 feet, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potential military/commercial operations in eastern Belarus.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Gomel Airport demonstrate significant variability, with instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) prevalent approximately 42.6% of the time. Pilots can expect challenging flying conditions, particularly during non-summer months, with temperature ranges spanning from -22°C to 28°C and notable potential for reduced visibility scenarios.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic location at coordinates 52.527000, 31.016701 positions it in a region with potentially complex terrain and meteorological interactions. The asphalt runway suggests standard infrastructure capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations with relatively predictable surface conditions.
Approach Considerations
With wind data indicating minimal prevailing wind characteristics, runway 10/28 provides flexible approach options. Pilots should anticipate potential instrument meteorological conditions, with historical data showing VFR conditions occurring in only 25.7% of observations, necessitating comprehensive pre-flight weather briefing and instrument proficiency.
