Weather Briefing
VFRBern Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 7 knots. Runway 14/32 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,200 ft, scattered at 3,100 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 4°C (39°F) with a dewpoint of 0°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. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Bern Airport
Overview
Bern Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in Switzerland at an elevation of 1,671 feet MSL. Situated near the capital city, the airport supports regional aviation with three runways accommodating different aircraft types. Its strategic location provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Bern metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Bern Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 60.6% of the time. Pilots can expect predominantly southeastern winds averaging 4.6 knots, with temperatures ranging from -17°C to 29°C. September, November, and January offer the most consistent VFR conditions, while fog occurs in 13.1% of observations.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways: one asphalt surface (14/32) and two grass surfaces (14L/32R and 14R/32L). All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind of 2.6 knots. The diverse runway configuration allows operational flexibility across different aircraft and weather conditions.
Approach Considerations
With consistent southeastern wind patterns, approaches to runways 14 are typically most favorable. The primary asphalt runway (14/32) provides the longest surface at 5,676 feet, offering substantial landing and takeoff capabilities. Pilots should anticipate potential visibility challenges, as observations indicate potential instrument meteorological conditions during certain periods.
