Weather Briefing

MVFR

Nashik Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 25,000 feet and 6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 15 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 13-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 25000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 36°C (97°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast 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.

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

About Nashik Airport

Overview

Nashik Airport serves the city of Nashik in Maharashtra, India, situated at an elevation of 1900 feet MSL. Located at coordinates 20.119101, 73.912903, this medium-sized airport primarily supports regional and general aviation operations. The airport features a single runway (09/27) with a substantial length of 9,843 feet constructed of concrete and asphalt surfaces.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly marginal VFR conditions, with 75.4% of observations indicating MVFR and 21.1% IFR conditions. The airport experiences consistent easterly winds averaging 5.3 knots, with occasional strong gusts up to 42 knots. Temperature variations range from 5°C to 32°C, with an average of 22.9°C, suggesting potential for significant temperature-related performance considerations.

Notable Features

The airport's elevated position at 1900 feet MSL suggests surrounding terrain variations that pilots should evaluate during approach and departure. Wind data indicates a remarkably consistent prevailing wind from 90 degrees (east), with only 0.7% calm periods. Crosswind components are relatively mild, averaging 2.2 knots across the runway.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% of wind observations compatible with runway heading. January, September, and October represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility (0% below 3SM) and rare fog occurrences (0.3%).
