Weather Briefing
MVFRRajkot International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 34.8 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (270°) at 8 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Rajkot International Airport
Overview
Rajkot International Airport serves the Gujarat region in western India, located near the city of Rajkot at an elevation of 647 feet above mean sea level. The airport supports regional and international commercial aviation operations, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the surrounding industrial and agricultural areas of Gujarat.
Flying Conditions
Rajkot's airport experiences typical western Indian meteorological conditions, characterized by hot summers and mild winters. The single runway (05/23) at 9,974 feet offers substantial landing and takeoff capacity, with an asphalt surface that can accommodate large aircraft in various weather conditions.
Notable Features
The airport is situated in a relatively flat geographical region with minimal terrain complexity surrounding the airfield. Its geographical coordinates (22.378824, 71.039391) place it in an area with generally stable atmospheric conditions and good visibility during most of the year.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 provides a long, straight approach with sufficient length for most commercial and cargo aircraft. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswinds given the single runway configuration, and prepare for approach procedures aligned with the runway's 050/230 degree orientation.
