Weather Briefing

IFR

Humberside Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 15 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 9 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. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain between 09:00Z and 10:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 15:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Humberside Airport

Overview

Humberside Airport serves the northeastern region of Lincolnshire, located near Grimsby. Situated at 121 ft mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional and general aviation operations in the Humber area.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate predominantly VFR conditions, with 64.4% of METAR reports showing favorable flying conditions. Seasonal variations show significant temperature range from -6°C to 24°C, with prevailing southwestern winds at an average of 11.3 knots and maximum gusts up to 29 knots. September through November offer the most stable VFR flying conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary 7,218 ft runway (02/20) and a secondary 3,248 ft runway (08/26). Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and relatively low average crosswind components of 5.5 and 7.4 knots respectively. The airport's elevation and coastal proximity contribute to its unique meteorological characteristics.

Approach Considerations

With predominantly southwestern winds, runway 02/20 offers the most consistent approach conditions. Pilots should anticipate stable wind patterns and prepare for potential visibility variations, though the average visibility remains strong at 10 statute miles. Fog occurs in only 2.1% of observations, making instrument approaches generally predictable.
