Weather Briefing
VFRDon Mueang International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 9,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 9000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 26°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. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 10:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Don Mueang International Airport
Overview
Don Mueang International Airport serves as a critical aviation hub in Bangkok, Thailand, handling significant commercial and charter traffic. Located at 13.912600, 100.607002 with an elevation of 9 feet MSL, the airport features two substantial asphalt runways capable of supporting large aircraft operations. As a major international airport, it provides essential connectivity for the Bangkok metropolitan region.
Flying Conditions
Bangkok's tropical climate presents dynamic weather conditions for pilots operating at Don Mueang. The airport's low elevation of 9 feet MSL means minimal altitude-related performance considerations, with generally stable atmospheric conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations typical of Thailand's monsoon climate, which can impact visibility and precipitation levels.
Notable Features
Don Mueang features two parallel runways: 03L/21R measuring 12,139 feet and 03R/21L measuring 11,483 feet, both constructed of asphalt surface. The runway configuration allows for simultaneous operations and provides flexibility in approach and departure procedures. The airport's geographical positioning near Bangkok offers strategic advantages for regional and international air traffic.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation at 03/21 suggests potential wind alignment considerations for approach and landing operations. The substantial runway lengths (12,139 and 11,483 feet) provide generous operational margins for most commercial aircraft types. Pilots should review current meteorological data to determine optimal runway selection based on prevailing wind conditions.
