Weather Briefing
IFRBarisal Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 5 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Haze, Thunderstorm Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 6 to 20 knots. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Barisal Airport
Overview
Barisal Airport serves the southeastern Bangladesh city of Barisal, located in the Barishal Division. As a medium-sized airport positioned at 23 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential regional connectivity in this riverine coastal region. The airport supports commercial and potential military aviation operations in this strategically important part of Bangladesh.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 23 ft MSL indicates a flat terrain environment typical of the Bangladesh coastal plain. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and monsoon-related weather variations, which can significantly impact visibility and wind conditions. The single asphalt runway (17/35) measuring 5,995 feet provides reasonable operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft.
Notable Features
Positioned at coordinates 22.801001, 90.301201, Barisal Airport is situated in a low-lying deltaic region characterized by numerous rivers and waterways. The surrounding landscape features minimal elevation changes, which generally translates to predictable terrain approaches. Pilots should be prepared for potential localized weather shifts common in coastal Bangladesh.
Approach Considerations
The runway's 17/35 orientation suggests potential wind alignment challenges depending on seasonal prevailing wind directions. With a substantial runway length of 5,995 feet, the airport can accommodate most regional commercial and utility aircraft. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended given the airport's geographical location and potential meteorological variabilities.
