Weather Briefing

MVFR

Jalgaon Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 13 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 10 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 8-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. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

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