Weather Briefing
MVFRIvujivik Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,500 feet and 6 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.8 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 19 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 16-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 SM. The ceiling is 2500 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -20°C (-4°F) with a dewpoint of -24°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 7 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: Light Snow, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Snow between 14:00Z and 21:00Z.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Ivujivik Airport
Ivujivik Airport (CYIK/YIK) is located in Ivujivik, CA at an elevation of 126 feet MSL. The airport has 1 runway (07/25), with the longest at 3,521 feet.
Weather Profile
CYIK is weather-challenged, with VFR conditions just 38.9% of the time across 2,092 observations. IFR/LIFR conditions are present 20% of the time, making an instrument rating essential for reliable access. Fog affects the airport in approximately 5.4% of observations, with visibility dropping below 3 statute miles 5.4% of the time.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at CYIK come from the S (180°) with an average speed of 13.7 knots and recorded gusts up to 38 knots. Calm winds are rare (1.7%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 07/25 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 10 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are February, March, January, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from -33°C (-27°F) to 11°C (52°F), averaging -10.6°C (13°F). Cold weather operations require attention to aircraft preheating, de-icing, and cold-soaked fuel management. Altimeter settings typically range from 28.82 to 30.51 inHg (976-1033 hPa).
