Weather Briefing
IFRShah Amanat International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 10,000 feet and 3.5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 10 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 9-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 3.5 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Haze, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 00:00Z and 08:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 06:00Z.
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.

About Shah Amanat International Airport
Overview
Shah Amanat International Airport serves Chattogram, Bangladesh's second-largest city and a critical maritime gateway. Located at 12 ft mean sea level with coordinates 22.249599, 91.813301, this medium-sized airport supports regional and international commercial aviation operations in southeastern Bangladesh.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological observations reveal complex flying conditions, with 50.2% MVFR and 44.1% IFR conditions predominating annually. Temperature ranges from 13°C to 34°C with an average of 25.4°C, while wind patterns are characterized by northwest prevailing winds at an average of 6.2 knots, with occasional extreme gusts up to 107 knots. September, October, and January offer the most favorable VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The single runway 05/23 spans 9,646 feet with a PEM surface, providing substantial operational flexibility. Coastal proximity suggests potential for rapid weather transitions and maritime meteorological influences. Visibility consistently averages 10 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of severely restricted visibility (fog present only 2.3% of observations).
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 demonstrates exceptional wind compatibility, with 100% favorable wind coverage and an average crosswind of only 4.3 knots. Pilots should anticipate northwest wind patterns and prepare for potential MVFR or IFR conditions, which collectively represent 95.3% of recorded weather observations.
