Weather Briefing
VFRTabriz International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 1 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,200 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
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: Thunderstorm Rain, Mist. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 09:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Tabriz International Airport
Overview
Tabriz International Airport serves the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz, situated at a significant elevation of 4,459 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized international airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the East Azerbaijan province, connecting regional and international air traffic. The airport features two substantial concrete and asphalt runways capable of handling a wide range of aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Tabriz demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) predominating 60.9% of observations. Pilots can expect moderate temperature ranges from -12°C to 31°C, with an average of 8.4°C. Wind patterns are predominantly from the northeast at 45 degrees, with an average speed of 6.2 knots and occasional strong gusts up to 62 knots. September, October, and January offer the most stable VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation at 4,459 feet MSL presents unique performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during temperature extremes. Both runways (12L/30R and 12R/30L) offer nearly identical wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and consistent average crosswinds of 4.7 knots. The geographical location in northwestern Iran suggests potential complex terrain and meteorological interactions typical of mountainous regions.
Approach Considerations
With two parallel runways measuring 11,825 and 11,537 feet respectively, Tabriz International Airport provides flexible approach options. Pilots should anticipate predominantly northeast winds and prepare for potential variability. The consistently low occurrence of extreme weather (minimal fog at 1.8% and zero instances of visibility below 3 statute miles) suggests generally reliable approach conditions throughout the year.
