Weather Briefing
MVFRKangra Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 8,000 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (350°) at 6 knots. Runway 33 is favored with a 6-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. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Haze, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 09:00Z and 13:00Z.
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 Kangra Airport
Overview
Kangra Airport serves the Kangra region in Himachal Pradesh, India, functioning as a medium-sized airport situated at an elevation of 2,525 feet MSL. Located at coordinates 32.164902, 76.263018, the airport provides critical air connectivity to this mountainous area of northern India.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly Marginal VFR conditions, with 97% of METAR reports showing MVFR status. Temperature ranges from 2°C to 33°C with an average of 17.1°C, and pilots can expect generally stable visibility around 10 statute miles. January, September, and October demonstrate the most favorable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (15/33) measuring 4,620 feet with an asphalt surface. Terrain surrounding Kangra Airport is characterized by mountainous landscapes typical of Himachal Pradesh, which can create complex local wind and atmospheric conditions. Winds are predominantly from the southwest at 225° with an average speed of 2 knots.
Approach Considerations
Runway 15/33 demonstrates 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind component of only 1.4 knots. Calm wind conditions are prevalent 43.7% of the time, providing relatively consistent approach conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential mountain-induced weather variations and prepare for potential MVFR scenarios.
