Weather Briefing

MVFR

Dabolim Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 5 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Drizzle, Light Rain, Rain, Showers Rain, Heavy Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain between 01:00Z and 02:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 05:00Z and 08:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain, Heavy Rain between 11:00Z and 15:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

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