Weather Briefing

VFR

Ylivieska Airfield is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,800 feet and 9 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 9 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 9 km. The ceiling is 3800 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 14°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.
