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.
What the METAR reports from LTBR for 2023-2025 show - counted hour by hour.
We computed these statistics from 26,282 METAR reports issued by LTBR in 2023-2025. VFR conditions prevailed 68% of the time, MVFR 21% and IFR or LIFR 10%. Best month for VFR flying: August (96% of hours VFR). Most IFR and LIFR hours: December (31%).
Through the day, IFR or LIFR conditions are most frequent around 04:00 UTC (29% of reports at that hour) and least frequent around 13:00 UTC (2%).
Fog (FG) was reported on 31 days a year on average, most often in January. Thunderstorms (TS) occurred on 22 days a year on average, and snowfall on 16.
The wind most often blows from N (0°) - 12% of reports. Calm (0 kt) made up 13% of reports, and gusts of 25 kt or more appeared in <1%. Warmest month: July (average high 32.6 °C); coldest: February (average low 0.0 °C).
Day counts are for the selected period (for all years - the yearly average).
The top of each bar is the average daily high, the bottom the average daily low (usually around dawn), in °C.
Most often: N - 12% of reports. Each petal shows the direction the wind blows from (as in METAR) - the longer it is, the more often. Colour shows wind speed.

According to OurAirports data (compiled from AIP and FAA sources), Bursa Yenişehir Airport has 2 runways: 07L/25R - 2,993 m long (9,818 ft), 45 m wide, asphalt surface; 07R/25L - 2,993 m long (9,818 ft), 30 m wide, asphalt surface.
The longest of them is 07L/25R, at 2,993 m.
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 07L/25R on 70° and 250° magnetic, 07R/25L 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 07L/25R 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.
Weather reports for Bursa Yenişehir Airport are published under the ICAO code LTBR. 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 LTBR 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 LTBR, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The Europe/Istanbul zone stays at GMT+03:00 year-round, so converting to local time is always the same shift.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Bursa Yunuseli Airport (LTBE, 47 km), Yalova Air Base (Çiftlikköy) (LTBP, 50 km), Cengiz Topel Airport (Kartepe) (LTBQ, 69 km). When no report is available for LTBR, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
