Weather Briefing
MVFRConakry International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,300 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 6 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1300 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 10:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Conakry International Airport
Overview
Conakry International Airport serves Guinea's primary maritime city, located on the Atlantic coast. As a medium-sized airport situated at 72 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical international and regional aviation connectivity for West Africa. The airport supports essential transportation infrastructure for Conakry and surrounding regions.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 57.2% of observations indicating clear weather and an additional 34% in marginal VFR status. Wind patterns are consistent from the west (270°) at an average of 6.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 20 knots. Temperature ranges between 21°C and 34°C, with an average of 27.7°C, suggesting stable thermal conditions for most operations.
Notable Features
The single runway (06/24) extends 10,826 feet with an asphalt surface, offering substantial landing and takeoff capabilities. Its orientation allows for favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 3.5 knots. The coastal location likely introduces maritime atmospheric influences that pilots should anticipate during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
November, October, and January represent the most favorable months for visual flight conditions, characterized by stable weather patterns. The long runway and consistent wind profile from the west provide predictable approach characteristics. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility, supporting generally reliable flight operations.
