Weather Briefing
VFRVaasa Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 8 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4600 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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 24 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 Rain, Showers Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 06:00Z and 07:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 07:00Z and 09:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 11:00Z and 18:00Z.
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 Vaasa Airport
Overview
Vaasa Airport serves the western coastal region of Finland, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the Ostrobothnia region. Located at 63.050701, 21.762199 and elevated at 19 ft MSL, this medium-sized airport supports regional and commercial aviation operations. The airport features two asphalt runways capable of handling diverse aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Vaasa Airport are characterized by significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions present 51% of the time. Temperature ranges from -22°C to 24°C, averaging 2.1°C, which creates potential for challenging winter operations. Wind patterns predominantly originate from the south at 180° with an average speed of 7.4 knots, occasionally reaching maximum gusts of 33 knots.
Notable Features
Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 16/34 and 11/29 offering 100% favorable wind conditions. The airport experiences minimal calm wind periods, with only 0.6% of observations showing no wind movement. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with fog present in 4.9% of observations and rare instances of visibility below 3 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate consistent crosswind conditions, averaging 5 knots on runway 11/29 and 4.2 knots on runway 16/34. September, January, and October represent the most favorable months for Visual Flight Rules operations. Low Instrument Flight Rules (LIFR) conditions occur in 11.4% of observations, suggesting potential need for instrument approach planning during certain periods.
