Weather Briefing
MVFRSummerside Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,200 feet and 15 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 13 knots with gusts to 23 knots. Runway 36 is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component (gusting to 8 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 2200 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 3°C (37°F) with a dewpoint of 0°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. 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 Showers RASN, Mist, Light Showers Rain, Mist, Light Showers Rain, FCST. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers RASN, Mist between 12:00Z and 16:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions between 12:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 16:00Z and 00:00Z.
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 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.

About Summerside Airport
Overview
Summerside Airport is located in Slemon Park, Prince Edward Island, Canada, serving as a medium-sized airport with significant infrastructure. Situated at 56 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation services to the eastern Canadian region. Its three runways offer substantial capacity for various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Located at 46.440601, -63.833599, Summerside Airport experiences maritime coastal weather typical of Prince Edward Island. The airport's multiple runways (05/23 at 8000ft, 12/30 at 5300ft, and 18/36 at 5460ft) provide operational flexibility across different wind conditions. All runways are asphalt-surfaced, supporting consistent performance for arriving and departing aircraft.
Notable Features
The airport's three runways represent a robust aviation infrastructure, allowing for multiple approach and departure options. With the longest runway measuring 8000 feet, the airport can accommodate a wide range of aircraft types, from smaller regional planes to medium-sized commercial and cargo aircraft. The relatively low elevation of 56 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain complications for approach and departure procedures.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should consider the multiple runway orientations when planning approaches, with runways 05/23, 12/30, and 18/36 offering different wind alignment options. The substantial runway lengths, particularly the 8000-foot primary runway, provide generous landing and takeoff margins for most aircraft classes. Careful attention to current wind conditions will help determine the most appropriate runway for safe operations.
