Weather Briefing
VFRNorth Battleford Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 9 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (80°) at 8 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 10°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Mist, FCST, FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 10:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About North Battleford Airport
Overview
North Battleford Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in Saskatchewan, Canada, situated at 52.769409, -108.243742. Positioned at an elevation of 1,799 ft MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the North Battleford region, supporting regional and local flight operations with two asphalt runways.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at North Battleford Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 66.8% of the time. Pilots can expect predominantly easterly winds averaging 8.9 knots, with temperature ranges from -39°C to 30°C. Seasonal VFR performance is most reliable during September, October, and November, when weather conditions are most stable.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: 06/24 at 2,565 feet and 12/30 at 5,000 feet, both constructed with asphalt surfaces. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with average crosswind components of 6.1 knots for 06/24 and 3.7 knots for 12/30. Visibility averages 8.2 statute miles, with occasional reduced conditions affecting less than 4% of observations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate predominantly easterly wind conditions when planning approaches. The consistent wind patterns and substantial runway lengths provide flexible operational capabilities. Low Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) conditions occur in approximately 8% of observations, with an additional 4.5% experiencing limited meteorological conditions that require heightened situational awareness.
