Weather Briefing

IFR

Jorhat Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,000 feet and 4 km visibility. Note: This observation is 622.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (170°) at 4 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 1000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period.

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 Jorhat Airport

Overview

Jorhat Airport serves the Jorhat district in Assam, northeastern India, functioning as a medium-sized airport at 311 feet above mean sea level. The airport provides critical regional connectivity in a geographically challenging terrain near the Brahmaputra Valley, supporting both civilian and potential military aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's location in northeastern India suggests significant seasonal weather variations, with potential monsoon influences during summer months. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility and precipitation periods, particularly between June and September, which could impact flight operations on the 9000-foot concrete runway.

Notable Features

Situated at coordinates 26.730456, 94.175416, Jorhat Airport is positioned in a region characterized by complex terrain with proximity to mountainous landscapes. The single runway (04/22) provides a substantial 9000-foot length, offering favorable operational capabilities for medium-sized aircraft across diverse meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

The runway orientation of 04/22 suggests potential wind alignment challenges depending on prevailing regional wind patterns. Pilots should carefully assess current meteorological data and utilize the full runway length, considering the elevation of 311 feet MSL and potential terrain-induced wind variations in the approach corridors.
