Weather Briefing
MVFRShillong Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 9,000 feet and 5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 15.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 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.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
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 Shillong Airport
Overview
Shillong Airport serves the capital city of Meghalaya state in northeastern India, positioned at an elevation of 2,910 feet above mean sea level. The medium-sized airport supports regional connectivity with a single concrete runway (04/22) measuring 6,000 feet in length. Its strategic location in the mountainous terrain of the Northeast Indian region makes it an important aviation infrastructure for the area.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate challenging flying conditions, with 59.9% of recorded periods requiring instrument flight rules (IFR) and an additional 5.4% in low IFR conditions. Wind patterns are predominantly easterly at an average of 3 knots, with calm conditions occurring 25.1% of the time. Temperature variations range from 7°C to 33°C, with an average of 22.7°C, suggesting significant diurnal temperature fluctuations.
Notable Features
The airport's elevated position at 2,910 feet MSL within a mountainous region presents unique terrain considerations for pilots. The surrounding geography likely involves significant elevation changes and potential orographic effects on local weather patterns. Its location in Meghalaya, known for its complex topography, requires heightened situational awareness during approach and departure phases.
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22 demonstrates highly favorable wind conditions, with a 100% aligned wind profile and minimal average crosswind of 2 knots. Pilots can expect the most consistent VFR conditions during January, September, and October. The high percentage of IFR conditions (65.3% combined IFR and LIFR) suggests frequent instrument approach requirements throughout the year.
