| Threshold | Course | Length | Width | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 07 | 70° | 3,000 m (9,843 ft) | 45 m (148 ft) | asphalt |
| 25 | 250° |
The course is derived from the runway designator (number × 10), not from a survey - the actual magnetic bearing can differ by a few degrees.
Declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, LDA) are published in the national AIP - they are not part of this table.
Climate at Bari Karol Wojtyła International Airport - statistics from METAR reports
What the METAR reports from LIBD for 2023-2025 show - counted hour by hour.
We computed these statistics from 26,149 METAR reports issued by LIBD in 2023-2025. VFR conditions prevailed 92% of the time, MVFR 7% and IFR or LIFR 1%. Best month for VFR flying: July (99% of hours VFR). Most IFR and LIFR hours: January (3%).
IFR and LIFR conditions are rare here at any time of day.
Fog (FG) was reported on 3.3 days a year on average, most often in December. Thunderstorms (TS) occurred on 15 days a year on average, and snowfall practically never.
The wind most often blows from W (270°) - 15% of reports. Calm (0 kt) made up <1% of reports, and gusts of 25 kt or more appeared in 1%. Warmest month: July (average high 31.8 °C); coldest: February (average low 5.8 °C).

Runway headings and wind
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 07/25 on 70° and 250° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.
For the 07/25 axis, wind from the south (around 160°) or from the north (around 340°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 70° or 250° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
METAR and TAF for LIBD
Weather reports for Bari Karol Wojtyła International Airport are published under the ICAO code LIBD. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.
The decoder breaks the LIBD report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.
Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for LIBD, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The Europe/Rome zone is GMT+01:00 in winter and GMT+02:00 in summer - that is the shift to apply to the time in the report to get local time at the airport.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Gioia del Colle Antonio Ramirez Air Base (Gioia del Colle (BA)) (LIBV, 44 km), Marina di Ginosa Heliport (LIBH, 80 km), Taranto-Grottaglie Marcello Arlotta Airport (LIBG, 88 km). When no report is available for LIBD, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
