Weather Briefing
MVFRRegina International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,500 feet and 12 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (270°) at 34 knots with gusts to 51 knots. The significant gust spread of 17 knots may cause challenging turbulence on approach. Runway 26 is favored with a 33-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component (gusting to 9 knots crosswind). These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 12 SM. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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 24 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 Showers Rain, Light Showers Rain, Mist, FCST. Winds are forecast to reach up to 35 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 20 to 35 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 18:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain, Mist between 03:00Z and 08:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations. 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 Regina International Airport
Overview
Regina International Airport serves Saskatchewan's capital city, situated in the southern prairie region of Canada. As a medium-sized airport, it handles regional and commercial aviation traffic, supporting essential transportation links for the province. The airport's elevation of 1894 ft MSL and geographic location at 50.431900, -104.666000 positions it in a strategic transportation corridor.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Regina demonstrate significant seasonal variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) predominating 62.4% of observations. Pilots can expect challenging conditions during winter months, with temperatures ranging from -36°C to 31°C and an average of -2.4°C. Wind patterns are predominantly from the southeast at 135° with an average speed of 11 knots, occasionally reaching maximum gusts of 42 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features two asphalt runways: 08/26 (6200 ft) and 13/31 (7900 ft), providing operational flexibility for different aircraft types. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind conditions, with modest average crosswind components of 7.7 knots for 08/26 and 4.1 knots for 13/31. Visibility averages 12.6 statute miles, with occasional reduced conditions including fog (6.2% of observations) and visibility below 3 miles in 5.6% of reports.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistent VFR conditions for operations. Instrument meteorological conditions occur in 19.4% of observations (combined MVFR and IFR), requiring pilots to be prepared for potential alternate planning. The prevailing southeast winds and minimal crosswind components generally support straightforward approaches to both primary runways, with consistent wind characteristics facilitating predictable landing conditions.
