Weather Briefing
IFRLokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,800 feet and 2.5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 2.5 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,800 ft, scattered at 10,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 26°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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Light Rain, Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 21:00Z and 23:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport
Overview
Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport serves Guwahati, a key urban center in Northeast India's Assam state. As a medium-sized international airport with a single 9000ft asphalted runway, it provides critical air connectivity for the region's challenging terrain and relatively isolated geography.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly IFR conditions, with 88.4% of METAR observations indicating instrument flight rules are necessary. Temperature variations range from 11°C to 36°C, with an average of 22.8°C, presenting potential density altitude considerations for pilots. Wind patterns are predominantly northerly at an average of 4.2 knots, with calm conditions occurring 38.3% of the time.
Notable Features
Located at 162 feet mean sea level, the airport sits in a region characterized by complex terrain near the Himalayan foothills. The low elevation and consistent wind patterns suggest relatively stable approach conditions, with minimal extreme meteorological challenges. Visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with fog present in only 5.1% of observations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 02/20 offers favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 2.5 knots. January, September, and October represent the most predictable VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate primarily instrument flight conditions and prepare accordingly with appropriate navigation and approach equipment.
