Weather Briefing
VFRKazan International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 8 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 18°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain, Squalls. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain, Squalls between 11:00Z and 18:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Kazan International Airport
Overview
Kazan International Airport serves as a major aviation hub in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia, located in the city of Kazan. Positioned at 411 ft above mean sea level with coordinates 55.606201, 49.278702, the airport features two substantial concrete runways capable of handling large aircraft operations. Its strategic location makes it a critical transportation infrastructure for the Volga region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Kazan demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) prevailing in 47% of observations. Pilots can expect challenging conditions, with instrument flight rules (IFR) present 17.5% of the time and low instrument flight rules (LIFR) occurring 11.7% of observations. Temperature ranges dramatically from -28°C to 28°C, with an average of 1.4°C, indicating potential significant meteorological transitions throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: runway 11/29 at 12,303 ft and runway 11R/29L at 8,196 ft, both constructed of concrete. Fog appears in 4.5% of observations, which could impact visibility and approach conditions. The relatively flat surrounding terrain and consistent elevation suggest stable approach and departure environments for most aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most favorable visual meteorological conditions, with consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles. While wind data in the provided statistics appears incomplete, pilots should prepare for potential seasonal wind variations. The dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility for different approach and departure scenarios.
