Weather Briefing
VFRBatumi International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 7 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 800 ft, scattered at 2,300 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,300 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 7 to 20 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 07:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 16:00Z and 00:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Batumi International Airport
Overview
Batumi International Airport serves the coastal city of Batumi in Georgia, positioned near the Black Sea at 105 ft mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport with a substantial 8,202 ft asphalt runway, it supports regional and international aviation operations. Its strategic location makes it an important transportation hub for western Georgia.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Batumi are predominantly VFR, with 86.1% of observations indicating favorable visual flight rules. Winds predominantly arrive from the southeast at an average of 11 knots, with occasional gusts up to 32 knots. Temperature ranges from 0°C to 31°C, with an average of 13.5°C, providing generally stable atmospheric conditions for flight operations.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (13/31) experiences highly favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility. Crosswinds average only 2.9 knots, indicating minimal lateral wind challenges during approach and takeoff. Its coastal location near 41.6°N latitude suggests potential maritime weather influences that pilots should monitor.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistent VFR months for arrivals and departures. Runway 13/31's orientation and length provide flexibility for most aircraft types. Pilots should anticipate southeastern wind patterns and prepare for potential maritime weather transitions, particularly during seasonal changes.
