Weather Briefing

IFR

Kamalpur Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 10,000 feet and 4 km visibility. Note: This observation is 8.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (170°) at 3 knots.

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 1,800 ft, scattered at 10,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist, Haze, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 09:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 16:00Z and 20:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

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