Weather Briefing

IFR

Shirdi Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 4 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 3 knots.

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 (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 35°C (95°F) with a dewpoint of 5°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.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Haze, Smoke, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain, Rain between 10:00Z and 15:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
