Weather Briefing
VFRKuujjuaq Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 24,000 feet and 15 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 24,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 5°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: FCST.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Kuujjuaq Airport
Overview
Kuujjuaq Airport serves the remote northern Quebec community of Kuujjuaq, providing critical transportation infrastructure in the Nunavik region. Located at 58.096100, -68.426903 with an elevation of 129 ft MSL, the airport supports regional and transportation operations in this subarctic environment. The airport features two runways: a 6000ft asphalt runway (07/25) and a 5000ft gravel runway (13/31).
Flying Conditions
Weather at Kuujjuaq demonstrates significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 59.7% of the time and Marginal VFR conditions occurring 28.2% of the observations. The prevailing wind is from the southwest at 225° with an average speed of 7.9 knots, though maximum gusts can reach 28 knots. Winter temperatures average -5.5°C, with historical ranges from -37°C to 17°C, presenting potential icing and cold-weather operational challenges.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical position in northern Quebec creates unique operational environments with potential rapid weather changes. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 4.8 and 5.2 knots respectively. Average visibility is excellent at 13 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced visibility, with 6.7% of observations reporting fog conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection can be effectively managed using prevailing wind data, with both 07/25 and 13/31 runways offering consistent wind alignment. January, December, and October historically present the most favorable VFR conditions for operations. Pilots should anticipate potential rapid weather transitions, with IFR conditions occurring in approximately 9.9% of observations and Low IFR conditions in 2.3% of cases.
