Weather Briefing
MVFRTuticorin Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,800 feet and 5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 6.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (170°) at 2 knots.
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: few at 1,800 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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 Tuticorin Airport
Tuticorin Airport (VOTK/TCR) is located in Vagaikulam, IN at an elevation of 129 feet MSL. The airport has 1 runway (10/28), with the longest at 4,434 feet.
Weather Profile
VOTK is weather-challenged, with VFR conditions just 0% of the time across 4,187 observations. IFR/LIFR conditions are present 34.7% of the time, making an instrument rating essential for reliable access.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at VOTK come from the N (0°) with an average speed of 6.4 knots. Calm winds are rare (0.8%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 10/28 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 4 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are January, February, March, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from 21°C (70°F) to 40°C (104°F), averaging 30°C (86°F). High temperatures can significantly impact aircraft performance through increased density altitude. Altimeter settings typically range from 10.03 to 10.18 inHg (340-345 hPa).
