Weather Briefing
IFRJay Prakash Narayan Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,800 feet and 3.5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 3.5 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,800 ft, few at 3,000 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 30°C (86°F) with a dewpoint of 27°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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, Mist, Light Rain, Haze.
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 Jay Prakash Narayan Airport
Overview
Jay Prakash Narayan Airport serves Patna, the capital of Bihar state in eastern India. Located at an elevation of 170 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical regional air connectivity. The airport supports commercial and potentially military aviation operations in a strategically important urban center.
Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate challenging instrument meteorological conditions, with 93.2% of observations requiring instrument flight rules (IFR or LIFR). Winter months offer more favorable visual flight conditions, with January presenting optimal VFR opportunities. Prevailing westerly winds average 4.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 18 knots and calm conditions occurring in 33.8% of observations.
Notable Features
The single runway 07/25 is 6,410 feet long with an asphalt surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft. The airport's geographic location suggests potential terrain variations and microclimatic influences typical of the Gangetic plains. Temperature variations range significantly from 7°C to 35°C, requiring careful pre-flight planning for performance considerations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25 demonstrates consistently favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 2 knots. Visibility typically remains excellent at 10 statute miles, though fog occurs in 20.6% of observations. Pilots should particularly note the high proportion of instrument flight conditions when planning arrivals and departures.
