Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (100°) at 8 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 2600 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is -2°C (28°F) with a dewpoint of -6°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.

Forecast Outlook
