Weather Briefing
MVFRBiju Patnaik International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,800 feet and 7 km 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 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,800 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 36°C (97°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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: Light Thunderstorm Rain, Haze. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 07:00Z and 09:00Z.
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.

About Biju Patnaik International Airport
Overview
Biju Patnaik International Airport serves Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha state in eastern India. Located at 138 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport supports regional and national air transportation with two bituminous runways capable of handling diverse aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) dominate the airport's weather profile, with 72.3% of observations requiring instrument conditions and an additional 20.6% classified as Low Instrument Flight Rules (LIFR). Temperature variations range from 10°C to 34°C, with an average of 23.3°C, presenting moderate thermal conditions for flight operations.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: 05/23 measuring 4,524 feet and 14/32 extending 9,003 feet, providing flexibility for different aircraft types. Prevailing winds from the north (0°) average 3.6 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 20 knots and calm conditions occurring 12.7% of the time.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswinds (2.4kt for 05/23 and 2.1kt for 14/32). Pilots can expect consistently good visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrences (4.6%), with January, September, and October offering the most favorable VFR conditions.
