Weather Briefing

IFR

Ishurdi Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,000 feet and 2.8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 2.8 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 1000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain IFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Haze, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 15:00Z.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Ishurdi Airport

Overview

Ishurdi Airport serves the Pabna District in northwestern Bangladesh, functioning as a medium-sized airport located at 24.152500N, 89.049400E. Situated at an elevation of 45 feet mean sea level, the airport provides regional transportation infrastructure for the surrounding agricultural region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and inland location suggest a climate with potential for significant seasonal weather variations. Pilots should anticipate typical subtropical weather patterns common to Bangladesh, which can include monsoon conditions and potential visibility challenges during wet seasons.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (15/33) constructed of concrete, measuring 4,700 feet in length. Its moderate runway length accommodates medium-sized aircraft and supports regional commercial and potential military aviation operations in the area.

Approach Considerations

Runway 15/33 suggests potential wind alignment considerations for approach and departure planning. Given the airport's geographic positioning and runway orientation, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios and review current meteorological conditions before landing.
