Weather Briefing
MVFRSultan Syarif Kasim II International Airport / Roesmin Nurjadin AFB is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,000 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 6 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
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 1,000 ft, few at 1,500 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 01:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
