Weather Briefing

MVFR

Tezpur Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 621.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 5 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: RABR.

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 Tezpur Airport

Overview

Tezpur Airport is a medium-sized airport located in northeastern India, serving the Assam region. Situated at an elevation of 240 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area, supporting regional connectivity and potentially military operations given its strategic northeastern location.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 240 feet suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potential for variable atmospheric conditions typical of the northeastern Indian climate. Pilots should anticipate potential weather complexities associated with the region's proximity to mountainous terrain and seasonal monsoon patterns.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (05/23) measuring 9,010 feet in length, constructed with asphalt surface. Its geographic coordinates (26.709101, 92.784698) place it in a region characterized by complex terrain, with the Himalayan foothills potentially influencing local meteorological and aeronautical conditions.

Approach Considerations

With a 9,010-foot runway, the airport supports a range of aircraft operations and provides substantial landing surface for most regional and medium-sized aircraft. The runway orientation (05/23) indicates potential wind variations that pilots should consider during approach and departure planning, with careful attention to prevailing wind conditions.
