IFRDr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 8,000 feet and 4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Haze, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Light Rain, Haze, Thunderstorm Rain, Haze. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 20 knots. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 08:00Z and 14:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 20:00Z and 00:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
