Weather Briefing
LIFRPerth Jandakot Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 6,200 feet and 1 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 6 knots. Runway 12/30 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 1 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is very low at 100 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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 18 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Fog, Light Showers Rain.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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 Perth Jandakot Airport
Overview
Perth Jandakot Airport serves as a critical general aviation hub located southwest of Perth, Western Australia. Situated at 99 feet mean sea level, the airport offers three asphalt runways accommodating various aircraft operations. Its strategic location and multiple runway configurations make it a significant facility for regional and training aviation activities.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Jandakot are predominantly VFR, with 92.3% of observations supporting visual flight rules. The prevailing southwesterly winds at 225° average 10.2 knots, creating generally stable flying conditions. Temperature ranges from 4°C to 42°C, with January, November, and December presenting the most consistent VFR weather patterns.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways with lengths between 3,773 and 4,948 feet, providing flexibility for different aircraft types. All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components ranging from 5.5 to 6.8 knots. Visibility consistently averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect predictable wind conditions with southwesterly prevailing winds. The runways' consistent wind alignment minimizes crosswind challenges, with Runway 06L/24R offering the longest surface at 4,569 feet. Low occurrence of IFR conditions (0.9%) suggests reliable visual approach opportunities throughout the year.
