Weather Briefing
IFRKempegowda International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 3 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 12 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 3 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Drizzle. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 22:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain, Drizzle between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Kempegowda International Airport
Overview
Kempegowda International Airport serves Bangalore, India's primary international gateway for commercial and cargo aviation. Located at 13.197900° N, 77.706299° E, this large airport sits at an elevation of 3000 feet mean sea level. The airport supports major international and domestic air traffic for India's technology hub.
Flying Conditions
Bangalore's airport experiences relatively stable atmospheric conditions at its 3000-foot elevation. The dual parallel runways (09L/27R and 09R/27L) each measure 13,123 feet in length, providing substantial operational flexibility for various aircraft types and weather scenarios. Pilots should anticipate typical tropical highland weather characteristics with potential seasonal wind variations.
Notable Features
The airport features two identically sized asphalt runways oriented in a 09/27 configuration, allowing for significant operational redundancy. Its elevation at 3000 feet MSL provides unique performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during takeoff and landing. The parallel runway arrangement enables simultaneous operations and enhanced airport capacity.
Approach Considerations
Runway 09 and 27 configurations offer landing options based on prevailing wind conditions. With both runways measuring 13,123 feet, aircraft have substantial landing and takeoff distances available. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway selection to optimize approach and departure procedures.
