Weather Briefing
MVFRSilchar Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 9,000 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 649.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (100°) at 8 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 9000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 10:00Z and 14:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Silchar Airport
Overview
Silchar Airport serves the northeastern Indian city of Silchar in Assam state, functioning as a critical regional transportation hub. The airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations and provides essential connectivity to this geographically strategic location near the borders of Bangladesh and Myanmar.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 352 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with potential humidity and visibility variations typical of the northeastern Indian climate. Pilots should anticipate potential monsoon-related weather fluctuations that can impact flight operations during the wet season.
Notable Features
Silchar Airport features a single asphalt runway (06/24) measuring 5,993 feet in length, suitable for regional and medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's geographical position in the hilly terrain of Assam necessitates careful terrain awareness and standard mountainous approach protocols.
Approach Considerations
The runway's 06/24 orientation suggests potential wind variability, requiring pilots to be prepared for crosswind landing techniques. Standard instrument approach procedures should be anticipated, with careful attention to the surrounding terrain and potential localized weather phenomena common in this mountainous region.
