Weather Briefing
MVFRChandigarh International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 25,000 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 2.4 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 25000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C, indicating relatively dry conditions.
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 Rain, Light Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 30 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 30 knots. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.
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 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.
