Weather Briefing

IFR

Barrackpore Air Force Station is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 3.2 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 7 knots. Runway 02/20 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 3.2 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 26°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: Light Rain, Haze, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 07:00Z and 11:00Z.

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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

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