Weather Briefing
IFRUmiujaq Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 600 feet and 5 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 5.8 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 SM. The ceiling is 600 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Umiujaq Airport
Umiujaq Airport (CYMU/YUD) is located in Umiujaq, CA at an elevation of 250 feet MSL. The airport has 1 runway (02/20), with the longest at 3,500 feet.
Weather Profile
CYMU is weather-challenged, with VFR conditions just 46.8% of the time across 2,274 observations. IFR/LIFR conditions are present 22.4% of the time, making an instrument rating essential for reliable access. Fog affects the airport in approximately 8.6% of observations, with visibility dropping below 3 statute miles 12.5% of the time.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at CYMU come from the E (90°) with an average speed of 14.1 knots and recorded gusts up to 35 knots. Calm winds are rare (1.1%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 02/20 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 9.6 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are March, February, January, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from -33°C (-27°F) to 20°C (68°F), averaging -7.3°C (19°F). Cold weather operations require attention to aircraft preheating, de-icing, and cold-soaked fuel management. Altimeter settings typically range from 28.12 to 30.61 inHg (952-1037 hPa).
