Weather Briefing
VFRAğrı Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 24 knots with gusts to 40 knots. The significant gust spread of 16 knots may cause challenging turbulence on approach. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 23-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component (gusting to 14 knots crosswind). These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,500 ft (CB), scattered at 3,500 ft. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 4°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 Thunderstorm Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 10:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 14:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate highly variable conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions present 69.5% of the time. Temperature extremes range from -27°C to 28°C, with an average of 5°C, suggesting significant seasonal temperature variations. Pilots can expect predominantly southwest winds averaging 7 knots, with occasional gusts up to 21 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (16/34) extending 9,843 feet with an asphalt surface. Its high elevation and mountainous surrounding terrain require careful navigation and performance calculations. The wind statistics show a consistent southwest prevailing wind direction, which pilots must consider during approach and departure planning.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34 offers favorable wind conditions 100% of the time, with an average crosswind of 5.5 knots. September, October, and November represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility, with fog occurring in 7.5% of observations and an average visibility of 10 statute miles.
