Weather Briefing

LIFR

Muara Badak Pujangan Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,600 feet and 0.5 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 6 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is severely reduced to 0.5 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 1600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

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.

Pilot Recommendations

Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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.
