Weather Briefing

IFR

Dibrugarh Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 9,000 feet and 2.5 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (360°) at 6 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 2.5 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 9000 feet AGL (overcast), 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 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to remain IFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Mist.

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.

About Dibrugarh Airport

Overview

Dibrugarh Airport serves the northeastern Indian city of Dibrugarh, located in Assam state. Situated at 362 feet mean sea level with coordinates 27.483900, 95.016899, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure in a region characterized by challenging terrain and diverse meteorological conditions.

Flying Conditions

Pilots should anticipate predominantly instrument meteorological conditions, with IFR conditions present 50.1% of the time and marginal VFR conditions another 39.8%. Temperature ranges from 9°C to 36°C, with an average of 23°C, creating moderate thermal environments. The best visual flying conditions occur during October, November, and September, offering more predictable weather patterns.

Notable Features

The single runway 05/23 is 6000 feet long with an asphalt surface, oriented to take advantage of prevailing northerly winds. Wind conditions are characterized by predominantly calm periods (57.7% of observations), with average wind speeds of 4.3 knots and maximum gusts reaching 15 knots. The airport experiences minimal visibility restrictions, with an average visibility of 10 statute miles and fog present in only 4.4% of observations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 2.3 knots. This suggests consistent runway usability and minimal wind-related approach challenges. Pilots should anticipate North (0°) as the prevailing wind direction, which aligns well with the runway's primary orientation.
