Weather Briefing
VFRKuressaare Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 8 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 4°C (39°F) with a dewpoint of 2°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Kuressaare Airport
Overview
Kuressaare Airport serves the city of Kuressaare on Saaremaa Island in Estonia, providing regional aviation services as a medium-sized airport. Located at 14 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 58.229900, 22.509501, the airport features two asphalt runways supporting diverse aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly visual flight rules (VFR) conditions, with 51% of recorded METARs showing VFR and an additional 24.2% in marginal VFR. Seasonal temperature variations range from -12°C to 22°C, with an average of 5.5°C, suggesting significant thermal fluctuations that pilots should anticipate. September through November offer the most consistent VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: 05/23 measuring 2,621 feet and 17/35 measuring 4,980 feet, both constructed of asphalt. Prevailing winds from the south (180°) average 9.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 30 knots and rare calm periods (0.6% of observations). Visibility consistently remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal fog occurrence (0.4%).
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility. Runway 05/23 experiences an average crosswind of 6 knots, while runway 17/35 has a slightly lower average crosswind of 4.6 knots. Pilots should expect stable approach conditions with predictable wind patterns and high visibility.
