Weather Briefing
LIFRHazrat Sultan International Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 8 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 18:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 03:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
