Weather Briefing

VFR

Novosibirsk Tolmachevo Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,500 feet and 9 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (90°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 9 km. The ceiling is 3500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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 25 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Fog. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain, Fog between 20:00Z and 01:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Novosibirsk Tolmachevo Airport

Overview

Novosibirsk Tolmachevo Airport serves as a major aviation hub in Siberia, located near Russia's third-largest city. Situated at an elevation of 365 feet MSL, the airport features two substantial asphalt runways both exceeding 11,800 feet, capable of handling large commercial and cargo aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect highly variable weather conditions, with visual flight rules (VFR) prevailing approximately 53.9% of the time. Temperature ranges dramatically from -42°C to 27°C, creating significant operational challenges, with an average temperature of -5.5°C. Visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic positioning in southwestern Siberia presents unique meteorological characteristics influenced by continental climate patterns. Its substantial runway lengths (07/25 and 16/34) provide operational flexibility for diverse aircraft types, accommodating both regional and long-haul traffic in challenging environmental conditions.

Approach Considerations

With extensive runway infrastructure, pilots have multiple approach options depending on prevailing conditions. Seasonal variations significantly impact flight planning, with September, October, and December historically offering the most consistent visual meteorological conditions. Careful attention to temperature extremes and potential rapid weather shifts is recommended during all phases of flight.
