Weather Briefing
MVFRJaisalmer Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 25,000 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1144.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 6 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-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: scattered at 25,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 36°C (97°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C, indicating very dry conditions. 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. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Dust. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 08:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Jaisalmer Airport
Overview
Jaisalmer Airport serves the desert region of Rajasthan, located in northwestern India. As a medium airport situated at 751 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure in a geographically challenging desert environment.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevated position at 751 ft MSL suggests potential thermal and wind variation typical of desert terrain. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature-related performance considerations, particularly during summer months when desert temperatures can significantly impact aircraft operations.
Notable Features
The airport features a substantial 9000-foot concrete runway (04/22), which provides ample length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic location in the Thar Desert presents unique navigational challenges with potential wind shear and dust/sand interaction during certain seasonal conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22 offers a long, concrete surface aligned approximately northeast/southwest, which likely corresponds to prevailing regional wind patterns. Given the runway's length and orientation, pilots should prepare for potential crosswind conditions typical of desert airport environments.
