Weather Briefing
IFRCoimbatore International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 6 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Mist, Light Thunderstorm RA/RA. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm RA/RA between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 09:00Z 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.

About Coimbatore International Airport
Overview
Coimbatore International Airport serves as a key aviation facility in southern India, located at an elevation of 1,324 feet MSL near the city of Coimbatore. The airport operates a single runway (05/23) measuring 8,480 feet in length, accommodating medium-sized aircraft and international operations in the region.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates challenging flying conditions, with 53.8% of observations reporting IFR and 42.7% MVFR conditions. Winds predominantly blow from the southwest at an average of 6.9 knots, with occasional peaks up to 23 knots. Temperature variability ranges from 17°C to 34°C, with an average of 26.1°C, suggesting potential thermal considerations during operations.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical positioning at 11.030000, 77.043404 places it in a region with consistent wind patterns and minimal terrain obstacles. The asphalt runway provides stable surface conditions, and the relatively high elevation may impact aircraft performance, particularly during warmer months.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 demonstrates 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind of just 1.9 knots. January, September, and October present the most favorable VFR conditions for pilots, offering the most stable weather for approach and departure operations. Pilots should anticipate potential IFR transitions and prepare accordingly.
