Weather Briefing

IFR

Jharsuguda Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,000 feet and 4 km visibility. Note: This observation is 9 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (170°) at 6 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 30°C (86°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions.

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