Weather Briefing

MVFR

Agatti Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,500 feet and 5 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 6 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,500 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C, indicating moderate moisture 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. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Haze.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

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

About Agatti Airport

Overview

Agatti Airport serves the Lakshadweep Islands region in the Arabian Sea, located on a small coral island. As a medium-sized airport situated at 14 feet mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this remote archipelago. The airport supports essential regional connectivity with its 4,235-foot asphalted runway.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Agatti are predominantly MVFR, with 98% of observations falling in this category. Wind patterns are consistently northerly, averaging 8 knots with occasional strong gusts up to 70 knots. Temperature remains relatively stable, ranging between 24°C and 32°C with an average of 28.7°C, providing consistent thermal conditions for aviation operations.

Notable Features

The airport is positioned at coordinates 10.823700, 72.176003, situated on a small island environment with maritime influences. Its low elevation and island location suggest potential for challenging wind conditions and limited diversion options. Pilots should be prepared for maritime weather patterns typical of island airports in the Indian Ocean region.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22 experiences favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind component of 5.4 knots. January, September, and October represent the best months for VFR operations. The consistent wind patterns and minimal meteorological variability generally support predictable approach and departure procedures.
