Weather Briefing
MVFRMangalore International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,500 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 26°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.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Mangalore International Airport
Overview
Mangalore International Airport serves the coastal city of Mangalore in Karnataka, India, functioning as a medium-sized airport at 337 feet above sea level. Located at coordinates 12.961300, 74.890099, the airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the southwestern Indian coastal region. Its two runways support commercial and potentially regional aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly marginal VFR conditions, with 73.3% of observations in MVFR and 22.4% in IFR ranges. Wind patterns are consistently easterly, averaging 5 knots with occasional gusts up to 45 knots, and calm conditions occurring 20.2% of the time. Temperature ranges between 19°C and 34°C, with an average of 25.9°C, suggesting generally stable thermal conditions for most operations.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a longer concrete runway 06/24 measuring 8,035 feet, and a shorter asphalt runway 09/27 at 5,300 feet. Both runways demonstrate favorable wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind (2.6kt for 06/24, 2kt for 09/27). Terrain and coastal positioning likely contribute to the predictable wind characteristics observed in the meteorological data.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and January represent the best VFR months for operations, offering optimal visibility conditions averaging 10 statute miles. With minimal fog occurrence (1% of observations) and consistently favorable wind alignments, pilots can generally expect straightforward approach and landing scenarios. Runway selection should prioritize the longer 06/24 concrete runway when possible, given its superior length and surface composition.
