Weather Briefing
MVFRSolapur Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 10,000 feet and 5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 9.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 3 knots.
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 2,500 ft, scattered at 10,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 37°C (99°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Haze, Smoke, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain, Haze. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain between 12:00Z 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 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 Solapur Airport
Overview
Solapur Airport serves the urban region of Solapur in Maharashtra, India, positioned at an elevation of 1,584 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (15/33) measuring 6,591 feet and constructed of bituminous surface, it supports regional aviation operations in the southeastern part of Maharashtra.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly Marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions, with 92.3% of recorded METARs falling in this category. The airport experiences a warm climate with average temperatures around 30.5°C, ranging from 19°C to 37°C. Winds are predominantly from the northeast at 45 degrees, averaging 5.7 knots with occasional peaks up to 14 knots, and calm conditions occurring 7.1% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (15/33) is oriented to align favorably with prevailing winds, with wind conditions supporting operations 100% of the time. The geographical coordinates (17.628000, 75.934799) place the airport in a region with generally stable meteorological conditions. Crosswind components average a modest 3.9 knots, which should be manageable for most aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
January, September, and October represent the most favorable months for visual flight rules (VFR) operations, with consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The runway's length and surface type accommodate medium-sized aircraft, and the predictable wind patterns provide reliable approach conditions. Pilots should anticipate MVFR conditions and prepare accordingly with appropriate navigation and communication protocols.
