Weather Briefing
LIFRKeshod Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 8,000 feet and 1.5 km visibility. Note: This observation is 73.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 12 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 9-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 1.5 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 8000 feet AGL (overcast), 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.
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.

About Keshod Airport
Overview
Keshod Airport (VAKS) is a medium-sized airport located in western India at an elevation of 167 feet MSL. Situated at coordinates 21.317101, 70.270401, the airport serves the Keshod region with a single asphalt runway (05/23) measuring 4,500 feet in length.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates predominantly Marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions, with 84.7% of observations falling in this category. The airport experiences a warm climate with average temperatures around 27.8°C, ranging from 17°C to 36°C. January, September, and October offer the most consistent VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's wind patterns are predominantly from the northeast (45°), with an average wind speed of 7.2 knots and maximum gusts up to 15 knots. The low incidence of low IFR (LIFR) conditions at 1.2% suggests generally stable weather patterns for aviation operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 benefits from highly favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind alignment and an average crosswind of just 3.5 knots. Pilots can expect good visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and no significant fog or low visibility events recorded in the available meteorological data.
