Weather Briefing

MVFR

London Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,200 feet and 6 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (180°) at 9 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 SM. The ceiling is 2200 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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 20 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, Mist, Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Mist, Fog, FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 04:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 04:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 06:00Z and 08:00Z.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About London Airport

Overview

London Airport serves the southwestern Ontario region as a medium-sized airport located near the city of London, Canada. Positioned at an elevation of 912 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional and commercial operations. Its strategic location and dual runway configuration make it a significant transportation hub in southwestern Ontario.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect diverse flying conditions throughout the year, with visual flight rules (VFR) predominating at 57.7% of observed conditions. Marginal VFR and instrument flight rules occur in 38.2% of observations, indicating potential need for instrument rating and preparation. Temperature variations are substantial, ranging from -18°C to 28°C, with an average temperature of 2.9°C, which can significantly impact aircraft performance and preflight planning.

Notable Features

Both runways are asphalt-surfaced (ASP) with substantial lengths: Runway 09/27 at 6,300 feet and Runway 15/33 at 8,800 feet. Prevailing winds are westerly at 270 degrees, with an average speed of 9.3 knots and occasional gusts up to 27 knots. The runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage for both primary directions.

Approach Considerations

September through November offer the most consistent visual flight conditions, with optimal weather predictability. Crosswind components are moderate, averaging 4.8 knots for Runway 09/27 and 6.8 knots for Runway 15/33. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility, with observations showing 9.5% of conditions below 3 statute miles and 4.7% experiencing fog conditions.
