Weather Briefing

VFR

Songkhla Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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 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: Thunderstorm Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 3 to 15 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 12:00Z.

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 Songkhla Airport

Overview

Songkhla Airport serves the southern Thai province of Songkhla, located near the city of Hat Yai. Situated at a low elevation of 12 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides regional aviation connectivity in a strategically important part of southern Thailand.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable wind and humidity conditions typical of southern Thailand's tropical climate. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather variations that could impact approach and departure procedures, particularly during monsoon periods.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (13/31) measuring 4,954 feet long with an asphalt surface. Its geographic coordinates at 7.186560, 100.608002 place it in a relatively flat coastal region, which should provide relatively straightforward terrain navigation for incoming and outgoing aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should review current wind conditions and be prepared to adjust landing techniques accordingly, paying particular attention to wind direction and potential turbulence related to the coastal environment.
