Weather Briefing
IFRAgartala - Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,000 feet and 4 km visibility. Note: This observation is 6.4 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 6 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 26°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to remain IFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Mist, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 17:00Z and 20:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Agartala - Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport
Overview
Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport serves Agartala, the capital of Tripura state in northeastern India. Located at 46 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region, connecting this northeastern state with other parts of India.
Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate predominantly challenging instrument meteorological conditions, with 58.5% of observations indicating IFR and 13.6% LIFR conditions. Temperature variations range significantly from 9°C to 36°C, with an average of 24.7°C, suggesting potential thermal fluctuations that could impact aircraft performance.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 7500-foot asphalted runway (18/36) and another with unspecified length (05/23). Wind patterns are characterized by northerly prevailing winds at an average of 4.2 knots, with calm conditions occurring 32.3% of the time. Visibility is typically excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility. The average crosswind is minimal (3kt for 05/23, 2kt for 18/36), providing relatively straightforward approach conditions. January, September, and October consistently offer the most favorable visual flight conditions for operations.
