Weather Briefing

IFR

Manohar International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,500 feet and 3 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 7 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 7-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. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,500 ft, scattered at 8,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 30°C (86°F) with a dewpoint of 28°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to remain IFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Mist, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Light Showers Rain, Light Rain, Mist. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 3 to 14 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain, Light Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z.

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.
