Weather Briefing
MVFRMae Sot Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°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 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 19:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Mae Sot Airport
Overview
Mae Sot Airport is a medium-sized airport located at coordinates 16.699900, 98.545097 in Thailand, situated at an elevation of 690 feet MSL. The airport serves the Mae Sot region, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the area with a single runway 09/27 measuring 4,921 feet long and surfaced with asphalt.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Mae Sot are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 76% of observations supporting VFR operations and only 1% indicating instrument flight conditions. Temperature ranges from 11°C to 34°C, with an average of 26.7°C. Winds are typically from the northeast at 45 degrees, averaging 5.8 knots with occasional peaks up to 15 knots, and calm conditions occur 16.5% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's runway is oriented 09/27, positioned to maximize wind alignment with prevailing northeast winds. Visibility is consistently good, averaging 10 statute miles with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility (fog present in only 0.2% of observations). The best visual flying months are October, November, and December, offering optimal meteorological conditions for pilots.
Approach Considerations
Runway 09/27 demonstrates exceptional wind compatibility, with 100% favorable wind conditions and a minimal average crosswind of 2.7 knots. Pilots can expect consistent approach conditions, particularly during the peak VFR months. The low crosswind component and high percentage of VFR days make this airport relatively straightforward for navigation and landing.
