Weather Briefing

LIFR

Juhu Aerodrome is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 9,000 feet and 1.2 km visibility. Note: This observation is 15.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 7 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is severely reduced to 1.2 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 9000 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 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.

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. 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.
