Weather Briefing

MVFR

Lilabari North Lakhimpur Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 10,000 feet and 6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (10°) at 6 knots. Runway 04/22 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

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 10,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 27°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods. 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 Lilabari North Lakhimpur Airport

Overview

Lilabari North Lakhimpur Airport serves the North Lakhimpur region in India, situated at an elevation of 330 feet above mean sea level. The airport operates a single runway (04/22) with a substantial 7,500-foot pavement length, capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations. Its strategic location provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Assam state's northeastern region.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect challenging visual meteorological conditions, with MVFR (Marginal VFR) dominating 54.8% of observations and IFR conditions present 43.7% of the time. Temperature variations range from 7°C to 37°C, with an average of 23.6°C, indicating potential significant thermal fluctuations. January, September, and October consistently demonstrate the most favorable VFR flying conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's wind profile demonstrates predominantly northerly winds at an average speed of 2.2 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 15 knots. Calm wind conditions occur 32.7% of the time, which minimally impacts runway operations. The airport's geographical positioning suggests potential terrain interactions that pilots should assess during flight planning.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22 shows highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 1.2 knots. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with extremely rare occurrences of visibility below 3 miles and minimal fog presence (0.9%). Pilots should anticipate generally stable approach conditions with predictable wind characteristics.
