Weather Briefing
MVFRKeshod Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 34.4 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 10 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 36°C (97°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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 Keshod Airport
Overview
Keshod Airport (VAKS) is a medium-sized airport located in western India at an elevation of 167 feet MSL. Situated at coordinates 21.317101, 70.270401, the airport serves the Keshod region with a single asphalt runway (05/23) measuring 4,500 feet in length.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates predominantly Marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions, with 84.7% of observations falling in this category. The airport experiences a warm climate with average temperatures around 27.8°C, ranging from 17°C to 36°C. January, September, and October offer the most consistent VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's wind patterns are predominantly from the northeast (45°), with an average wind speed of 7.2 knots and maximum gusts up to 15 knots. The low incidence of low IFR (LIFR) conditions at 1.2% suggests generally stable weather patterns for aviation operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 benefits from highly favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind alignment and an average crosswind of just 3.5 knots. Pilots can expect good visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and no significant fog or low visibility events recorded in the available meteorological data.
