Weather Briefing
MVFRShah Amanat International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,700 feet and 5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 6.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 8 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,700 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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: Haze, Thunderstorm Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 25 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 25 knots. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 03:00Z.
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 narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
