Weather Briefing
VFRNoi Bai International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 4,700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,700 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 30°C (86°F) with a dewpoint of 27°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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: Showers Rain, Heavy Thunderstorm Rain, Heavy Showers Rain, Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 08:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Thunderstorm Rain between 09:00Z and 14:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Showers Rain between 16:00Z and 22:00Z.
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.

About Noi Bai International Airport
Overview
Noi Bai International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Hanoi, Vietnam, located in the Soc Son district. As a large airport with two concrete runways exceeding 10,000 feet, it supports significant commercial and international aviation operations. The airport sits at a low elevation of 39 feet mean sea level, providing generally stable approach conditions.
Flying Conditions
Weather statistics indicate highly favorable flying conditions, with 87.1% of observations supporting visual (VFR) or marginal visual (MVFR) flight rules. Temperatures range from 9°C to 35°C, with an average of 22.3°C, suggesting minimal thermal extreme challenges. The best VFR months are October, September, and November, offering optimal flying weather with consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways oriented 11/29, with excellent wind alignment. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind at 3.5 knots. Prevailing winds from the northeast (45 degrees) at an average of 5.6 knots support predictable and stable flight operations, with rare calm conditions (1.3% of observations).
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistently favorable approach conditions with high visibility and minimal meteorological restrictions. Fog is extremely rare, occurring in only 0.4% of observations, and visibility below 3 statute miles is essentially non-existent. The parallel runway configuration provides operational flexibility, with both runways offering similar wind characteristics and approach potential.
