Weather Briefing
MVFRHazrat Shahjalal International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,200 feet.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
The ceiling is 1200 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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. Conditions are expected to remain IFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Haze, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 15:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport
Overview
Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport serves as the primary international airport for Dhaka, Bangladesh, handling major commercial and passenger traffic. Located at 23.843347°N, 90.397783°E with an elevation of 30 feet MSL, this large airport is a critical aviation hub for the region's transportation infrastructure.
Flying Conditions
Bangladesh's tropical monsoon climate significantly impacts airport operations, with distinct wet and dry seasons affecting flight conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential thunderstorm activity and reduced visibility during the monsoon months, which can create challenging approach and departure scenarios.
Notable Features
The airport features a single primary runway (14/32) measuring 11,500 feet in length, constructed with a Portland Cement concrete surface. Its low elevation and proximity to coastal regions means pilots must be prepared for potential low-altitude wind shear and rapidly changing meteorological conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32's substantial length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and operational configurations. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, particularly during seasonal wind pattern transitions, requiring pilots to maintain heightened situational awareness during approach and landing phases.
