Weather Briefing
MVFRKannur International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,200 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 6 knots. Runway 07/25 is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,200 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 23°C, indicating moderate moisture 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, Rain, Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain, Mist between 08:00Z and 12:00Z.
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 Kannur International Airport
Overview
Kannur International Airport serves the northern Kerala region, located near the coastal city of Kannur at an elevation of 330 feet MSL. The airport features a single runway (07/25) that is 10,007 feet long, capable of handling medium-sized international and domestic aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Kannur demonstrate significant instrument meteorological conditions, with 50.1% IFR and 47.5% MVFR observations. Temperatures range from 17°C to 35°C, averaging 26.1°C, with consistently favorable wind conditions predominantly from the east at an average of 5.6 knots. January, September, and October represent the most favorable VFR months for operations.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (07/25) is constructed of asphalt and positioned to maximize wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. Its coastal location near 11.918614, 75.547211 suggests potential maritime meteorological influences, though the data indicates minimal fog occurrence (0.8%) and consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect minimal crosswind challenges, with an average crosswind of just 2.9 knots on the primary runway. The consistent easterly winds (90 degrees) provide predictable approach conditions, with runway 07 and 25 equally viable depending on current wind vector. Maximum observed winds of 17 knots suggest generally stable approach environments.
