Weather Briefing
IFRKuujjuaq Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 500 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (350°) at 8 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 500 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 0°C (32°F) with a dewpoint of 0°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 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, Light Drizzle, Mist, Mist, Light RASN, Light Snow, Mist, Light Snow, Light Freezing Drizzle, Mist, FCST. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 18:00Z and 23:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Snow, Mist between 23:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Snow between 03:00Z and 06:00Z.
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 Kuujjuaq Airport
Overview
Kuujjuaq Airport serves the remote northern Quebec community of Kuujjuaq, providing critical transportation infrastructure in the Nunavik region. Located at 58.096100, -68.426903 with an elevation of 129 ft MSL, the airport supports regional and transportation operations in this subarctic environment. The airport features two runways: a 6000ft asphalt runway (07/25) and a 5000ft gravel runway (13/31).
Flying Conditions
Weather at Kuujjuaq demonstrates significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 59.7% of the time and Marginal VFR conditions occurring 28.2% of the observations. The prevailing wind is from the southwest at 225° with an average speed of 7.9 knots, though maximum gusts can reach 28 knots. Winter temperatures average -5.5°C, with historical ranges from -37°C to 17°C, presenting potential icing and cold-weather operational challenges.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical position in northern Quebec creates unique operational environments with potential rapid weather changes. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 4.8 and 5.2 knots respectively. Average visibility is excellent at 13 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced visibility, with 6.7% of observations reporting fog conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection can be effectively managed using prevailing wind data, with both 07/25 and 13/31 runways offering consistent wind alignment. January, December, and October historically present the most favorable VFR conditions for operations. Pilots should anticipate potential rapid weather transitions, with IFR conditions occurring in approximately 9.9% of observations and Low IFR conditions in 2.3% of cases.
