Weather Briefing
MVFRBagdogra Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 9,000 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 9000 feet AGL (broken), 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 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 28°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods. 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 18:00Z and 22:00Z.
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 Bagdogra Airport
Overview
Bagdogra Airport serves the Siliguri region in West Bengal, India, operating as a critical medium-sized airport in northeastern India. Located at an elevation of 412 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides essential air connectivity for the surrounding mountainous and geographically complex terrain.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation and geographical position suggest variable meteorological conditions typical of the sub-Himalayan region. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and terrain-influenced weather patterns that can affect approach and departure procedures, particularly during seasonal transition periods.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates 26.681200, 88.328598, Bagdogra Airport features a single runway (18/36) with a substantial length of 9,035 feet constructed with a PEM (Pavement Evaluation Method) surface. The airport's proximity to complex mountainous terrain requires heightened situational awareness during all flight operations.
Approach Considerations
The runway orientation of 18/36 suggests potential wind alignment variations that pilots must carefully evaluate during approach and landing. With a significant runway length of 9,035 feet, the airport provides considerable operational flexibility for various aircraft types operating in this challenging regional environment.
