Weather Briefing
VFRAmpara Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 17 knots with gusts to 27 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 17-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,800 ft, few at 1,900 ft (TCU). Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,900 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Ampara Airport
Overview
Ampara Airport serves the Ampara District in eastern Sri Lanka, positioned at coordinates 7.336745, 81.623869. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 150 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential regional aviation connectivity for the eastern provincial area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's relatively low elevation and tropical location suggest potential for high humidity and variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate typical Sri Lankan maritime climate characteristics, with potential for rapid weather transitions characteristic of coastal and near-coastal environments.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (07/25) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,600 feet in length. Its geographic position in eastern Sri Lanka indicates potential terrain variations and localized meteorological influences that pilots should carefully assess during pre-flight planning.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25's orientation suggests potential wind alignment considerations for approach and departure procedures. Pilots should carefully evaluate current wind conditions and runway length when planning operations, noting the 3,600-foot asphalt runway's operational limitations for different aircraft types.
