Weather Briefing
MVFRGautam Buddha International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 25,000 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (90°) at 6 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
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 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 28°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 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: Mist, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 12:00Z.
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 Gautam Buddha International Airport
Overview
Gautam Buddha International Airport serves Siddharthanagar in Nepal's Rupandehi District, providing critical aviation infrastructure in the western region of the country. The airport, situated at 358 ft mean sea level, operates a single runway (10/28) measuring 9,843 feet of asphalt surface, capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Located at 27.505328N, 83.412594E, the airport experiences typical subtropical climate conditions characteristic of Nepal's lowland Terai region. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations including monsoon periods with increased precipitation and potential reduced visibility during summer months.
Notable Features
The airport is positioned in a relatively flat geographical area, which provides relatively consistent terrain approach characteristics. Its moderate elevation of 358 ft MSL minimizes significant altitude-related performance considerations for most aircraft types.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28 provides a standard 9,843 ft asphalt surface, offering substantial landing and takeoff length for medium-sized aircraft. Standard approach procedures should account for the airport's geographical positioning and potential localized wind variations typical of the Terai region.
