Weather Briefing
MVFRYangon International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 10,000 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 26°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z 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. 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 Yangon International Airport
Overview
Yangon International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Myanmar, located in the country's largest city. Situated at 109 feet above mean sea level, the airport handles significant commercial and passenger traffic for the Yangon metropolitan region. Its single runway (03/21) extends an impressive 11,200 feet, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Yangon's tropical monsoon climate produces significant seasonal weather variations that pilots must carefully anticipate. The airport experiences distinct wet and dry seasons, with heavy rainfall potentially impacting visibility and runway conditions during the monsoon months. Pilots should be prepared for potential rapid weather changes and reduced visual conditions, particularly between May and October.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic position at 16.907301, 96.133202 places it in a coastal region with relatively flat surrounding terrain. Its elevation of 109 feet MSL provides a stable approach environment with minimal altitude-related performance considerations. The asphalted runway (11,200 ft) offers substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for most commercial and cargo aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 provides a primary approach axis aligned with the local geographical orientation. Given the airport's coastal location, wind conditions can vary, potentially requiring careful wind assessment during approach and landing. Pilots should maintain standard instrument approach procedures and be prepared for potential crosswind conditions typical of the region's meteorological patterns.
