Weather Briefing
LIFRMaharana Pratap Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 1.5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 7.7 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 12 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 1.5 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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.
