Weather Briefing
VFRAnuradhapura Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 8 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,800 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 27°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm RA/SHRA. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm RA/SHRA between 11:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Anuradhapura Airport
Overview
Anuradhapura Airport serves the historic city of Anuradhapura in northern Sri Lanka, providing regional connectivity for the area. Located at coordinates 8.301542, 80.428480, the airport sits at an elevation of 324 feet above mean sea level and supports medium-scale aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Sri Lanka's tropical climate produces consistent temperature ranges and humidity levels that can impact aircraft performance. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations given the airport's moderate elevation of 324 ft MSL, which may influence takeoff and landing characteristics.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (05/23) with an asphalted surface measuring 4,876 feet in length. Its geographical positioning in the northern region of Sri Lanka presents potential terrain considerations for approach and departure procedures, with surrounding landscape typical of the island's interior plains.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 provides a primary operational surface aligned approximately 050/230 degrees, which allows flexibility based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should assess wind direction and runway length when planning arrivals and departures, considering the 4,876-foot asphalt runway's operational limitations for different aircraft types.
