Weather Briefing
MVFRGorakhpur Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 25,000 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,500 ft, scattered at 25,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 31°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 14:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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.

About Gorakhpur Airport
Overview
Gorakhpur Airport serves the northeastern Uttar Pradesh region, situated in the city of Gorakhpur at 26.7397°N latitude and 83.4497°E longitude. The airport operates as a medium-sized facility with a single runway capable of handling various aircraft types. Its strategic location provides essential transportation infrastructure for this populous agricultural and industrial region.
Flying Conditions
Located at 259 feet mean sea level, Gorakhpur experiences a subtropical climate with significant seasonal temperature variations. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and localized weather shifts typical of the Gangetic plain region. Humidity levels can be high, particularly during monsoon seasons, which may impact aircraft performance and visibility.
Notable Features
The airport features a primary runway 11/29 measuring 9,000 feet in length with a PEM (Permanent Engineered Material) surface. Its relatively flat surrounding terrain and moderate elevation provide generally stable approach conditions. The airport's geographical position near the Nepal border offers unique regional connectivity for both civilian and potential military aviation operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 provides a substantial 9,000-foot length, allowing comfortable operational margins for most medium-sized aircraft. Prevailing winds and local topography will influence standard approach vectors, with pilots advised to review current meteorological data before arrival. Standard instrument approach procedures should be consulted for precise navigational guidance specific to current conditions.
