Weather Briefing
MVFRTrat Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 3.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 03:00Z and 09:00Z.
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 Trat Airport
Overview
Trat Airport serves the eastern coastal region of Thailand, located in Laem Ngop district near the Gulf of Thailand. As a medium-sized airport at 105 feet elevation, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Trat province, supporting regional and tourist travel to the area's eastern seaboard.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 56.8% of observations reporting visual flight rules and an additional 38.5% marginal VFR. Prevailing winds from the northeast (45°) average 7.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 21 knots. Temperature variation is moderate, ranging from 17°C to 35°C with an average of 27.8°C.
Notable Features
Trat Airport's single runway (05/23) is 5,899 feet long with an asphalt surface, providing substantial operational flexibility. The coastal location suggests potential for marine layer development, though historical data indicates minimal fog occurrence (0.1% of observations) and consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 demonstrates exceptionally favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and a minimal average crosswind of 2.7 knots. October, November, and September represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations, offering optimal flying conditions for pilots approaching the airport.
