Weather Briefing
MVFRSialkot International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 10,000 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 10,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 38°C (100°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Sialkot International Airport
Overview
Sialkot International Airport serves the industrial city of Sialkot in Punjab, Pakistan, situated at an elevation of 837 feet MSL. The airport supports regional and international commercial operations, featuring a substantial 11,811-foot asphalt runway capable of handling medium-sized aircraft. Its strategic location provides critical aviation infrastructure for this significant manufacturing and export center in northeastern Pakistan.
Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate predominantly challenging instrument meteorological conditions, with 64.8% IFR and 30.1% LIFR observations recorded. Temperature variations range from 3°C to 37°C, with an average of 19.1°C. Wind patterns are predominantly southwestern (225°), averaging 5.4 knots, with occasional gusts up to 40 knots. Notably, October, December, and January represent the most favorable visual flight conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (22L/04R) demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of only 2.9 knots. Visibility typically remains strong, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal low-visibility events. Calm wind conditions are prevalent, occurring in 68.7% of observations, which can simplify aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
Given the runway's favorable wind characteristics, approaches to runway 22L or 04R should be relatively straightforward. Pilots should be prepared for potential instrument conditions, with fog present in 19.6% of observations. The extensive 11,811-foot runway provides substantial landing and takeoff margins, accommodating various aircraft types and operational requirements.
