Weather Briefing

MVFR

Yogyakarta International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,800 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 6 knots. Runway 11/29 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,700 ft (CB), scattered at 1,800 ft. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,700 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

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 Yogyakarta International Airport

Overview

Yogyakarta International Airport (WAHI) serves Central Java, Indonesia, located near the city of Yogyakarta at 24 feet mean sea level. The airport features a substantial 10,663-foot asphalt runway (11/29) capable of handling medium-sized aircraft operations in a tropical aviation environment.

Flying Conditions

Meteorological data indicates predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 67.5% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Temperature remains consistently warm, averaging 26.8°C with a range between 22°C and 32°C. December, November, and January offer the most stable VFR weather, characterized by minimal wind variability and excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical positioning at approximately 7.9° South latitude presents typical equatorial terrain characteristics. Prevailing winds consistently originate from the North (0°) at an average speed of 6.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 24 knots. Runway 11/29 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind at 3.4 knots.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect highly predictable approach conditions with remarkably stable weather patterns. The runway's extensive 10,663-foot length provides substantial margin for various aircraft types, while the low elevation and consistent wind profile contribute to straightforward landing operations. Minimal instances of IFR (4%) and no reported fog suggest generally reliable visual approach capabilities.
