Weather Briefing

MVFR

Patiala Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 25,000 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1390.4 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 6 knots. Runway 33 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 25000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C, indicating very 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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 15:00Z and 18:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
