Weather Briefing
MVFRChandigarh International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 9,000 feet and 5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 12.6 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 15 knots with gusts to 25 knots. Runway 11/29 is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 15-knot crosswind component (gusting to 25 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 9000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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: Thunderstorm RABR, RABR. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm RABR between 13:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with RABR between 00:00Z and 02:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Chandigarh International Airport
Overview
Chandigarh International Airport serves the twin capital cities of Punjab and Haryana, strategically located in northern India. The airport operates as a medium-sized facility at an elevation of 1012 feet above mean sea level, providing critical air connectivity for the region's administrative and commercial centers.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 1012 ft MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment with potential seasonal temperature variations typical of northern India. Pilots should anticipate temperature-related performance considerations, particularly during summer months when density altitude can significantly impact aircraft operations.
Notable Features
Positioned at coordinates 30.673500, 76.788498, the airport features a single runway (11/29) with an asphalt surface measuring 9,001 feet in length. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, with approaches potentially requiring careful wind management during landing and takeoff.
Approach Considerations
The 9,001-foot runway provides substantial landing distance for most medium-sized aircraft, offering operational flexibility for different aircraft types. Runway 11/29's alignment suggests wind patterns may influence preferred approach directions, requiring pilots to carefully assess current meteorological conditions during arrival and departure planning.
