Weather Briefing

MVFR

Rajahmundry Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,400 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 2.6 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 6 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,400 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Haze. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Haze between 23:00Z and 02:00Z.

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.

About Rajahmundry Airport

Overview

Rajahmundry Airport serves the East Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh, India, located at an elevation of 151 feet MSL near the city of Rajahmundry. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (05/23), it supports regional transportation and potentially serves commercial, charter, and general aviation operations in the coastal region.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Rajahmundry exhibit significant variability, with 45% MVFR and 45.8% IFR days indicating challenging visibility and cloud cover. The prevailing easterly winds at an average of 6.9 knots create generally stable conditions, with temperatures ranging from 16°C to 40°C and an average of 26.1°C. January, September, and October represent the most favorable VFR flying months.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway 05/23 is 10,384 feet long with an asphalt surface, providing substantial landing and takeoff capacity. Its coastal location suggests potential for rapid weather changes, with low fog occurrence (1.1% of observations) and generally good visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The geographic positioning near the Bay of Bengal may introduce maritime meteorological influences.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind component of only 3.8 knots. Pilots should anticipate easterly winds and prepare for potential IFR conditions, particularly during non-peak months. The long runway provides flexibility for various aircraft types and approaches under diverse meteorological scenarios.
