Weather Briefing
IFRKannur International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,000 feet and 4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
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 8000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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 remain IFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Rain, Mist, Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 22:00Z and 00:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Kannur International Airport
Overview
Kannur International Airport serves the northern Kerala region, located near the coastal city of Kannur at an elevation of 330 feet MSL. The airport features a single runway (07/25) that is 10,007 feet long, capable of handling medium-sized international and domestic aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Kannur demonstrate significant instrument meteorological conditions, with 50.1% IFR and 47.5% MVFR observations. Temperatures range from 17°C to 35°C, averaging 26.1°C, with consistently favorable wind conditions predominantly from the east at an average of 5.6 knots. January, September, and October represent the most favorable VFR months for operations.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (07/25) is constructed of asphalt and positioned to maximize wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. Its coastal location near 11.918614, 75.547211 suggests potential maritime meteorological influences, though the data indicates minimal fog occurrence (0.8%) and consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect minimal crosswind challenges, with an average crosswind of just 2.9 knots on the primary runway. The consistent easterly winds (90 degrees) provide predictable approach conditions, with runway 07 and 25 equally viable depending on current wind vector. Maximum observed winds of 17 knots suggest generally stable approach environments.
