Weather Briefing
MVFRMary International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 8 knots. Runway 36 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 6,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C, indicating very dry conditions.
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: Blowing Dust. Winds are forecast to reach up to 28 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 14 to 28 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Blowing Dust between 18:00Z and 22:00Z.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Mary International Airport
Overview
Mary International Airport serves the Turkmenistan region, situated in the city of Mary at an elevation of 728 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with two concrete runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional and potentially international operations in this part of Central Asia.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly MVFR conditions, with 58.7% of observations falling in this category. Winds are consistently from the east at an average of 7 knots, with a maximum recorded speed of 24 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -4°C to 38°C, with an average of 13°C.
Notable Features
Both runways (18L/36R and 18R/36L) demonstrate identical wind characteristics, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of 4.9 knots. The airport has excellent visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (7.2% of observations).
Approach Considerations
September through November offer the best VFR flying conditions for this airport. Pilots should note the consistently easterly winds and prepare for potential moderate wind variations. Both runways are long (9107ft and 7994ft), providing ample landing and takeoff options with favorable wind alignments.
