Weather Briefing

MVFR

Syamsudin Noor International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 1 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1700 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.

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 Syamsudin Noor International Airport

Overview

Syamsudin Noor International Airport serves the Banjarmasin area in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, functioning as a medium-sized airport with strategic regional significance. Located at coordinates -3.442360, 114.763000 with an elevation of 66 ft MSL, the airport provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the surrounding maritime region.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 71.8% of observations supporting visual flight rules and only 7.7% of time experiencing restrictive IFR or LIFR conditions. Prevailing winds from the northeast (45°) average 4.6 knots, with temperatures consistently ranging between 19°C and 35°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions for flight operations.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway 10/28 extends 8,202 feet with an asphalt surface, offering substantial length for most commercial and regional aircraft. The geographical location suggests a tropical maritime environment, which typically implies potential for rapid localized weather development and the importance of pre-flight meteorological briefings.

Approach Considerations

With a 100% favorable wind coverage for runway 10/28 and an average crosswind of only 3.1 knots, pilots can anticipate relatively consistent approach conditions. September, January, and November represent the most stable months for visual meteorological conditions, offering optimal flying windows with high visibility and minimal weather-related constraints.
