Weather Briefing
IFRSurat Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with few clouds at 9,000 feet and 3 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 3 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 9,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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 9 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Mist, Haze.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate challenging flight conditions, with 61.4% of observations recording IFR and 5.8% LIFR conditions. Temperature variations range from 13°C to 40°C, with an average of 24.9°C, potentially impacting aircraft performance. January, September, and October offer the most favorable VFR flying conditions based on historical meteorological data.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (04/22) measuring 9,530 feet with an asphalt surface. Wind patterns are predominantly northerly at an average of 5.8 knots, with occasional strong gusts up to 43 knots and calm conditions present 5.1% of the time. Visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal fog occurrence (1.1% of observations).
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22 demonstrates consistently favorable wind conditions, with an average crosswind of only 3.2 knots. The low elevation and consistent wind patterns provide relatively predictable approach and departure scenarios for pilots. When planning operations, consider the prevailing northerly winds and potential for IFR conditions throughout the year.
