Weather Briefing

MVFR

Kot Addu Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 5 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (360°) at 6 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 18°C, indicating relatively dry 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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Smoke, DSTSRA. Winds are forecast to reach up to 30 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 10 to 30 knots. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with DSTSRA between 12:00Z and 16:00Z.

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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
