Weather Briefing

MVFR

Sri Sathya Sai Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,000 feet and 6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 11 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,000 ft, scattered at 1,200 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 18°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: Light Rain, Drizzle. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 00:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain, Drizzle between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 04:00Z.

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.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1,558 feet MSL suggests a moderate terrain environment with potential for variable atmospheric conditions typical of inland southern Indian locations.
