Weather Briefing

VFR

Skövde Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 14 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,200 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

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: Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 08:00Z and 15:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 09:00Z and 15:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Skövde Airport

Overview

Skövde Airport is a medium-sized airport located in western Sweden, positioned at coordinates 58.456402, 13.972700. The airport serves the Västra Götaland region, providing aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and general aviation operations. Situated at an elevation of 324 feet above mean sea level, the airport offers strategic access to the surrounding area.

Flying Conditions

Being located in Sweden, Skövde Airport experiences significant seasonal weather variations that can impact flight operations. The airport's elevation of 324 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potential for variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential challenging weather during winter months, which can affect visibility and runway surface conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (01/19) measuring 5,696 feet in length, constructed with an asphalt surface (ASP). Its orientation allows for operations in two primary directions, which can provide flexibility during different wind conditions. The runway's substantial length accommodates a variety of aircraft types typical of medium-sized regional airports.

Approach Considerations

Runway 01/19's alignment suggests the airport is prepared to handle approaches from both north and south. The asphalt surface provides good traction, but pilots should always assess current conditions during arrival. Standard instrument approach procedures and local wind patterns will determine the most appropriate runway for landing.
