Weather Briefing

MVFR

Dabolim Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 13 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 13-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 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 30°C (86°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
