Weather Briefing
MVFRThiruvananthapuram International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 8,000 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 5 knots. Runway 32 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-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: few at 1,500 ft, scattered at 8,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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: Mist, Rain, Mist, Thunderstorm Rain, Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 3 to 15 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain, Mist between 22:00Z and 02:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain, Rain between 08:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain, Mist between 22:00Z and 00:00Z.
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.

About Thiruvananthapuram International Airport
Overview
Thiruvananthapuram International Airport serves as a key aviation hub in southern Kerala, India. Located at coordinates 8.482120, 76.920097, the airport operates at a low elevation of 15 ft mean sea level, situated near the coastal region of Thiruvananthapuram. As a large airport, it provides critical international and domestic connectivity for the capital city of Kerala.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences tropical maritime climate conditions typical of Kerala's coastal environment. Proximity to the Arabian Sea significantly influences local weather patterns, with potential for rapid visibility and wind changes. Pilots should anticipate potential monsoon-related meteorological variations during June through September.
Notable Features
The airport features a substantial runway 14/32 measuring 11,148 feet with an asphalt surface, providing ample length for large commercial aircraft operations. Its low elevation and coastal positioning create unique atmospheric interactions that can generate localized wind shear and convective activity. The surrounding terrain is predominantly flat, with minimal elevation changes near the airport perimeter.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32's extended length allows flexibility in approach and departure procedures across various aircraft types. Given the coastal location, wind directions can vary, potentially creating crosswind landing scenarios. Pilots should maintain heightened situational awareness regarding potential maritime weather influences during approach and departure phases.
