Weather Briefing

IFR

Jessore Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 9,000 feet and 3.2 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 6 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-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 9000 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. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Haze, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 00:00Z and 04:00Z.

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.

About Jessore Airport

Overview

Jessore Airport serves the southwestern region of Bangladesh, located in the Jashore District. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 20 feet mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the local area, supporting both civilian and potential regional aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation at 20 ft MSL indicates a relatively flat terrain environment with minimal altitude-related performance considerations. Given Bangladesh's subtropical monsoon climate, pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations in visibility and wind conditions, particularly during the monsoon months between June and September.

Notable Features

The single runway (16/34) is 8000 feet long with an asphalt surface, providing sufficient length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical coordinates (23.183800, 89.160797) place the airport in a relatively low-lying coastal plain region characteristic of southwestern Bangladesh.

Approach Considerations

Runway 16/34 suggests the primary approach axis runs northwest to southeast, which pilots should consider in relation to prevailing wind patterns. The 8000-foot asphalt runway provides substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for regional aircraft, with ample length to support safe operational margins.
