Weather Briefing
IFRSheremetyevo International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,900 feet and 4.8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 6 knots with gusts to 16 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component (gusting to 15 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4.8 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 1600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,900 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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. 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, Squalls. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain, Squalls between 09:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 04:00Z.
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 Sheremetyevo International Airport
Overview
Sheremetyevo International Airport serves as a primary international aviation hub for Moscow, Russia. Located approximately 29 kilometers northwest of Moscow's city center, it is a major gateway for both international and domestic air traffic, handling millions of passengers annually.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Sheremetyevo demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions present only 27.7% of the time. Pilots should expect challenging conditions, with Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and Low Instrument Flight Rules (LIFR) collectively accounting for 46.3% of observed conditions. Temperature ranges dramatically from -18°C to 26°C, requiring careful pre-flight planning and potential equipment considerations.
Notable Features
The airport features three substantial runways, with the longest at 12,139 feet providing ample length for wide-body and heavy aircraft operations. Its elevation of 622 feet means moderate altitude considerations for aircraft performance calculations. The airport's geographic position near Moscow makes it a critical node in Russia's aviation infrastructure.
Approach Considerations
With three parallel runways (06C/24C, 06L/24R, 06R/24L), Sheremetyevo offers multiple approach options. While specific wind data appears limited in the provided statistics, pilots should conduct thorough preflight wind assessments. The best visual meteorological conditions typically occur during September, October, and November, potentially offering more predictable approach environments.
