Climatology

Maximum temperatures of 40°C to 45°C are not uncommon, particularly during the warmer months of the year.

Flight Safety Considerations

• Parallel Runway Operation, need to be carefully managed in such a manner as to minimise the risk of runway incursion or wrong runway use due. Closely-spaced parallel runways may affect the pilots' situational awareness or lead to their distraction or confusion.

• Fog, is effectively surface cloud and has a significant impact on the conduct of flying operations particularly landing and take-off.
