Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 10 knots with gusts to 19 knots. Runway 07/25 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component (gusting to 10 knots crosswind).

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 3500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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. 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 Rain, Light Showers Rain, Mist, Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 14:00Z and 17:00Z.

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.

About Rimouski Airport

Overview

Rimouski Airport serves the Quebec region of Canada, located in the eastern part of the province near the St. Lawrence River. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 82 feet MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Rimouski metropolitan area and surrounding regions.

Flying Conditions

The airport's maritime proximity suggests variable weather conditions typical of eastern Quebec, with potential rapid changes in visibility and wind patterns. At 48.477644 latitude and -68.496323 longitude, the airport experiences seasonal temperature variations that can significantly impact aircraft performance and operational considerations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (07/25) measuring 4,600 feet long and constructed with an asphalt surface. Its moderate length accommodates most medium-sized aircraft and provides operational flexibility for regional and general aviation traffic in the Rimouski area.

Approach Considerations

Runway 07/25's orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, particularly given the regional geographic characteristics. Pilots should prepare for potential wind variability and ensure thorough preflight planning that accounts for the runway's asphalt surface and moderate length characteristics.
