Weather Briefing
VFRDenpasar I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 13 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,700 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°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. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Denpasar I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport
Overview
Denpasar I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport serves as the primary international gateway to Bali, Indonesia. Located in Kuta, Badung, the airport is strategically positioned to handle significant international and domestic air traffic. As a large airport with an elevation of 14 feet MSL, it supports comprehensive aviation operations for the region.
Flying Conditions
Situated near the equator at coordinates -8.748409, 115.167123, the airport experiences consistent tropical maritime weather conditions. Pilots can expect generally stable atmospheric conditions with potential for localized convective activity typical of tropical island environments. The single runway (09/27) measuring 9,790 feet with an asphalt surface provides substantial operational flexibility.
Notable Features
The airport is positioned in a coastal environment, which introduces potential for sea-level wind variations and thermal conditions. Its single runway orientation (09/27) suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing wind patterns. The low elevation of 14 feet MSL indicates minimal terrain-related approach complexities.
Approach Considerations
Runway 09/27's substantial 9,790-foot length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and provides ample landing and takeoff margins. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal and maritime wind effects during approach, particularly during transition between land and sea breezes. Standard instrument approach procedures will be critical given the airport's tropical island location.
