Weather Briefing

MVFR

Dabolim Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,800 feet and 6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (180°) at 11 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 11-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 1,800 ft.

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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Dabolim Airport

Overview

Dabolim Airport serves the Goa region in western India, located near Vasco da Gama. As a large airport situated at 150 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for commercial and potentially military operations in this coastal area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions and maritime weather influences. Pilots should anticipate potential sea breeze effects and humidity variations typical of western Indian coastal environments.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial runway measuring 11,345 feet with an asphalt (ASP) surface, accommodating large aircraft operations. Its geographic coordinates at 15.380800, 73.831398 position the airport in a region with complex terrain surrounding the coastal plains.

Approach Considerations

The primary runway orientation of 08/26 suggests potential crosswind considerations depending on prevailing wind directions. Pilots should prepare for potential wind shear and turbulence typical of coastal airport environments when planning approach and departure procedures.
