Weather Briefing
MVFRMangalore 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 8 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 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. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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: Drizzle, Mist, Rain, Drizzle, Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain, Drizzle, Mist between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain, Drizzle, Mist between 06:00Z 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.

About Mangalore International Airport
Overview
Mangalore International Airport serves the coastal city of Mangalore in Karnataka, India, functioning as a medium-sized airport at 337 feet above sea level. Located at coordinates 12.961300, 74.890099, the airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the southwestern Indian coastal region. Its two runways support commercial and potentially regional aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly marginal VFR conditions, with 73.3% of observations in MVFR and 22.4% in IFR ranges. Wind patterns are consistently easterly, averaging 5 knots with occasional gusts up to 45 knots, and calm conditions occurring 20.2% of the time. Temperature ranges between 19°C and 34°C, with an average of 25.9°C, suggesting generally stable thermal conditions for most operations.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a longer concrete runway 06/24 measuring 8,035 feet, and a shorter asphalt runway 09/27 at 5,300 feet. Both runways demonstrate favorable wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind (2.6kt for 06/24, 2kt for 09/27). Terrain and coastal positioning likely contribute to the predictable wind characteristics observed in the meteorological data.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and January represent the best VFR months for operations, offering optimal visibility conditions averaging 10 statute miles. With minimal fog occurrence (1% of observations) and consistently favorable wind alignments, pilots can generally expect straightforward approach and landing scenarios. Runway selection should prioritize the longer 06/24 concrete runway when possible, given its superior length and surface composition.
