Weather Briefing

IFR

Jharsuguda Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with clear skies and 4.5 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 11 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 4.5 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 39°C (102°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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

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.
