Weather Briefing
MVFRTokat Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,000 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 5.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 17 knots. Runway 04/22 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 16-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 3,000 ft (CB), scattered at 3,200 ft. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 15:00Z and 19:00Z.
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.

About Tokat Airport
Overview
Tokat Airport serves the Tokat region in northern Turkey, positioned at an elevation of 1,859 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with two runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, offering both asphalt and concrete runway surfaces. The airport's strategic location and dual runway configuration support a variety of aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Tokat Airport demonstrate significant VFR opportunities, with 60.9% of observations showing favorable visual flight conditions. Prevailing winds from the southwest (225°) average 5 knots, with occasional peaks up to 16 knots. Temperature ranges from -14°C to 31°C, creating diverse seasonal flying environments that pilots must carefully prepare for.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways with substantial lengths: Runway 04/22 at 5,298 feet and Runway 06/24 extending 8,858 feet. Both runways exhibit minimal average crosswind conditions (2-2.4 knots), providing consistent and predictable landing and takeoff opportunities. The airport's elevation and geographic positioning contribute to its relatively stable wind and visibility characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal fog occurrence (6.4% of observations). September, October, and December offer the most consistent VFR conditions. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, allowing flexible approach and departure options based on current meteorological conditions.
