Weather Briefing
LIFRBahawalpur Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 10,000 feet and 0.8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 25 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 22-knot headwind and 13-knot crosswind component. These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.8 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 18°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
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: Smoke, DSTSRA. Winds are forecast to reach up to 30 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 10 to 30 knots. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with DSTSRA between 13:00Z and 17:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums.

Located at coordinates 29.348101, 71.718002, the airport sits at an elevation of 392 feet above mean sea level, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the southern Punjab region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation and inland location suggest a continental climate with potential for significant temperature variations between seasons. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations that could impact aircraft performance, particularly during summer months when temperatures in this region can be quite high.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (08/26) with an impressive length of 9,345 feet constructed with asphalt surface. Its substantial runway length provides operational flexibility for a variety of aircraft types, accommodating medium-sized commercial and potential military aviation requirements.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations, with winds potentially approaching from east-west directions. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during pre-flight planning, paying particular attention to the runway's substantial 9,345-foot length which provides significant operational margin.
