Weather Briefing

IFR

Jaipur International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with clear skies 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. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 35°C (95°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: 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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Jaipur International Airport

Overview

Jaipur International Airport serves as a critical aviation hub in Rajasthan, India, situated at an elevation of 1,263 feet above mean sea level. The airport supports medium-level commercial and potential military aviation operations, strategically positioned near the city of Jaipur. Its dual-runway configuration allows for flexible operations in varying wind conditions.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly instrument flight conditions, with 75.3% of observed weather requiring IFR procedures and an additional 14.9% in low IFR conditions. Wind patterns are consistently easterly at an average of 5.2 knots, though occasional strong gusts up to 66 knots have been recorded. Temperature variations range significantly from 5°C to 36°C, with an average of 21.1°C, presenting potential temperature-related performance considerations.

Notable Features

Located at coordinates 26.824200, 75.812202, Jaipur International Airport features two runways: a primary 9,177-foot PEM runway (08/26) and a secondary 5,223-foot ASP runway (15/33). Both runways demonstrate favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind conditions (2.5-3.7 knots). Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility.

Approach Considerations

Seasonal considerations reveal optimal VFR conditions during September, January, and October. Runway selection can be confidently made based on consistent wind patterns, with runway 08/26 being slightly more favorable. Pilots should anticipate potential IFR conditions and prepare accordingly, given the high percentage of instrument meteorological conditions documented in historical observations.
