Weather Briefing
MVFRAnuradhapura Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 8 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm RA/SHRA, Showers Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm RA/SHRA between 16:00Z and 20:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Showers Rain between 01:00Z and 07:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

About Anuradhapura Airport
Overview
Anuradhapura Airport serves the historic city of Anuradhapura in northern Sri Lanka, providing regional connectivity for the area. Located at coordinates 8.301542, 80.428480, the airport sits at an elevation of 324 feet above mean sea level and supports medium-scale aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Sri Lanka's tropical climate produces consistent temperature ranges and humidity levels that can impact aircraft performance. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations given the airport's moderate elevation of 324 ft MSL, which may influence takeoff and landing characteristics.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (05/23) with an asphalted surface measuring 4,876 feet in length. Its geographical positioning in the northern region of Sri Lanka presents potential terrain considerations for approach and departure procedures, with surrounding landscape typical of the island's interior plains.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 provides a primary operational surface aligned approximately 050/230 degrees, which allows flexibility based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should assess wind direction and runway length when planning arrivals and departures, considering the 4,876-foot asphalt runway's operational limitations for different aircraft types.
