Weather Briefing
MVFRINS Rajali / Arakkonam Naval Air Station is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 8,000 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 20.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 13 knots with gusts to 18 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component (gusting to 3 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 35°C (95°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. 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 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: Haze, Light RA/DZ. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light RA/DZ between 11:00Z and 15:00Z.
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.
