Weather Briefing
MVFRPaya Lebar Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 15,000 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 15000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,700 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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 Paya Lebar Air Base
Paya Lebar Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the SG AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Paya Lebar Air Base (WSAP) is a medium-sized airport located in Singapore at 1.360420, 103.910004, with an elevation of 65 feet MSL. The base primarily serves military aviation operations in the region, situated in the Paya Lebar district. Its single runway 02/20 extends 12,401 feet, providing substantial operational capacity for various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Paya Lebar are predominantly favorable for visual flight, with 88.4% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Temperature remains consistently warm, averaging 28°C with a range between 22°C and 35°C. Wind patterns are stable, predominantly from the north (0°) at an average of 4.3 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 20 knots and minimal calm periods.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (02/20) is asphalted and offers exceptional wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. The geographical location provides stable meteorological characteristics, with minimal visibility restrictions and no recorded instances of fog. The surrounding terrain and airspace contribute to predictable flight conditions throughout the year.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal approach conditions, particularly during peak VFR months of January, October, and September. The runway experiences an average crosswind of just 2.4 knots, facilitating straightforward landing and takeoff procedures. The consistent wind patterns and high percentage of VFR conditions make this a relatively predictable airport environment for most aviation operations.
