Weather Briefing
MVFRSukhothai Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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 24 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: Light Thunderstorm Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 00:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 20:00Z and 00:00Z.
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.

The airport features a single asphalt runway (18/36) measuring 6,890 feet in length.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates highly favorable VFR conditions 90.8% of the time, with minimal periods of marginal or instrument flight rules. Winds predominantly originate from the northwest (315°) at an average speed of 3.8 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 10 knots. Temperature variations are moderate, ranging from 15°C to 36°C with an average of 27.3°C, supporting consistent year-round operations.
Notable Features

Runway 18/36 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and a minimal average crosswind of 2.3 knots. Consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles supports reliable visual navigation.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal flying conditions during January, December, and October, which represent the best VFR months. The runway's orientation and prevailing northwest winds provide predictable approach and departure conditions. With calm wind conditions occurring only 1.5% of the time, standard wind considerations should be routine for most operations.
