Current Weather at OMSJ

Pilots flying into or out of Sharjah International Airport should always check the latest METAR (Meteorological Aerodrome Report) before departure.

It includes wind direction and speed, visibility, cloud layers, temperature, dewpoint, and altimeter setting -- everything you need for a safe go/no-go decision.
