Weather Briefing
VFRHanimaadhoo Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 11,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 8 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 11000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 30°C (86°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
