Weather Briefing
VFRYola Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 83.7 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 10 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,400 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 36°C (97°F) with a dewpoint of 34°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Yola Airport
Overview
Yola Airport serves the Adamawa State region in northeastern Nigeria, situated at an elevation of 599 feet mean sea level. The airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations with two asphalt runways capable of accommodating substantial traffic. Its strategic location provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northeastern Nigerian transportation network.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 77.3% of observations indicating clear flying weather and an additional 19.1% in marginal VFR. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 19°C to 41°C with an average of 29.8°C, which may impact aircraft performance. The wind pattern is primarily northwestern, averaging 5.6 knots with calm conditions occurring 42.1% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 13/31 at 5,160 feet and 17/35 at 9,840 feet, both constructed of asphalt surface. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind components (2.8 and 3.4 knots respectively). The consistent wind characteristics provide reliable approach and departure conditions for most aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
October through November represent the optimal VFR flying months, offering the most stable meteorological conditions. With consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles and no recorded fog incidents, approaches are typically straightforward. Pilots should anticipate northwestern wind patterns and utilize the longer 17/35 runway for larger aircraft operations, noting its extended 9,840-foot length.
