Weather Briefing
VFRNizhnevartovsk Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 8 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 3,000 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 RAGR, Squalls. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm RAGR, Squalls between 21:00Z and 15:00Z.
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 Nizhnevartovsk Airport
Overview
Nizhnevartovsk Airport serves the oil-rich region of western Siberia, located in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Russia. The medium-sized airport supports critical transportation infrastructure for the local energy industry, connecting Nizhnevartovsk with other regional and national destinations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect highly variable weather conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 59.5% of observations. Marginal VFR and Instrument Flight Rules conditions are also common, comprising 18.1% and 15.7% of recorded weather, respectively. The extreme temperature range from -42°C to 20°C demands careful preflight planning and equipment considerations.
Notable Features
The airport sits at a modest elevation of 177 feet mean sea level, positioned in a flat, potentially challenging Arctic/subarctic landscape. The single runway 03/21 provides a substantial 10,499-foot asphalt surface, suitable for supporting medium to large aircraft operations in this remote Siberian region.
Approach Considerations
With minimal wind data provided, standard runway operations are likely. The airport experiences minimal fog (3.5% of observations) and maintains good average visibility of 10 statute miles. September, January, and December represent the most consistent Visual Flight Rules months for pilots planning operations to Nizhnevartovsk.
