Weather Briefing

MVFR

Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 8,000 feet and 5 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (260°) at 16 knots with gusts to 26 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 16-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component (gusting to 5 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist, Haze, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Drizzle, Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Haze, Drizzle, Mist, Haze, Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Haze. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 09:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Haze between 19:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Haze between 07:00Z 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.

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

About Rajiv Gandhi International Airport

Overview

Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (VOHS) serves as a major aviation hub located in Hyderabad, India. Situated at an elevation of 2,024 feet mean sea level, the airport features two substantial asphalt runways capable of handling large commercial aircraft operations. Its strategic location and substantial runway infrastructure make it a key transportation gateway for the Telangana region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 2,024 feet MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment that can influence aircraft performance and approach characteristics. With two parallel runways measuring 12,162 feet and 13,976 feet respectively, the airport provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types and meteorological conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations typical of the region's subtropical climate.

Notable Features

Positioned at coordinates 17.231318, 78.429855, the airport is situated in a relatively flat geographical area with minimal immediate terrain challenges. The dual parallel runway configuration (09L/27R and 09R/27L) allows for simultaneous operations and provides wind flexibility during approach and departure procedures. This runway layout enables enhanced operational efficiency and increased airport capacity.

Approach Considerations

The parallel runway system allows for versatile approach options depending on prevailing wind conditions. With both runways constructed of asphalt and measuring over 12,000 feet in length, the airport can accommodate a wide range of aircraft types, from regional jets to wide-body international carriers. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments when planning approaches to VOHS.
