Weather Briefing
IFRYarmouth Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 500 feet and 4 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 10 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 4 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 500 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 10 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: Mist, Fog, FCST. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 20:00Z and 22:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 20:00Z and 22:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Yarmouth Airport
Overview
Yarmouth Airport (CYQI) is a medium-sized airport located in Yarmouth, Canada, serving the southwestern Nova Scotia region. Situated at an elevation of 141 feet MSL with coordinates 43.826900, -66.088097, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area. Its two asphalt runways offer versatile operational capabilities for various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 54.2% of observations in VFR and 26.4% in Marginal VFR conditions. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 11.7 knots characterize the airport's wind profile, with temperatures ranging from -11°C to 23°C. September, October, and November represent the best months for VFR flying, with optimal visibility and minimal weather disruptions.
Notable Features
Both runways (06/24 at 6000ft and 15/33 at 5000ft) demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. The airport experiences visibility averages of 11.2 statute miles, with only 8.7% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles. Fog occurs in 4.9% of observations, which pilots should consider during flight planning.
Approach Considerations
Crosswind conditions are moderate, with average crosswind components of 8.1 knots for runway 06/24 and 6.9 knots for runway 15/33. Pilots can expect relatively consistent wind patterns from the west (270°), with occasional maximum wind speeds up to 35 knots. Calm conditions occur in just 1.3% of observations, providing generally stable approach environments.
