Weather Briefing
VFRMalacca International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (170°) at 5 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Malacca International Airport
Overview
Malacca International Airport serves the historic city of Malacca in southern Malaysia, positioned at 2.265613, 102.252778 with an elevation of 35 feet MSL. This medium-sized airport provides critical regional aviation infrastructure with a single runway 03/21 measuring 7,005 feet in asphalt surface. The airport's geographical location makes it strategically important for local and regional air transportation.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Malacca International are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 89% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Winds are typically from the northeast (45°) at an average of 5.7 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 16 knots and calm periods occurring 21.6% of the time. Temperature remains consistently warm, averaging 27.4°C with a range between 22°C and 34°C, providing stable atmospheric conditions for most operations.
Notable Features
The airport's low elevation of 35 feet MSL indicates a flat surrounding terrain with minimal terrain-related approach challenges. Runway 03/21 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind component of only 2.4 knots. The consistently high visibility (averaging 10 statute miles) and absence of reported fog contribute to predictable flight conditions.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal approach conditions during January, October, and November, which represent the best VFR months. Runway 03/21 offers consistent wind support, making it suitable for most operations with minimal wind-related complications. The low crosswind component and stable atmospheric conditions generally provide straightforward approach and departure scenarios.
