Weather Briefing
VFRTartu Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 19,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (90°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 19000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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. 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: Shallow Fog. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Shallow Fog between 03:00Z and 04:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Tartu Airport
Overview
Tartu Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in southeastern Estonia near the city of Tartu. Situated at an elevation of 220 feet MSL, the airport provides aviation services in a region characterized by varied terrain and seasonal weather conditions. Its single runway (08/26) spans 5,905 feet with an asphalt surface, accommodating general aviation and regional aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Statistical data reveals diverse flying conditions throughout the year, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 46.3% of the time. Pilots can expect moderate weather variability, with temperature ranges from -19°C to 24°C and an average of 2.8°C. Wind patterns are predominantly southwesterly at 225 degrees, averaging 7.4 knots with occasional gusts up to 21 knots, and rare calm periods of 1.7%.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic location in southeastern Estonia presents potential challenges with terrain and regional meteorological patterns. Pilots should anticipate seasonal variations, with September, October, and January offering the most favorable VFR conditions. The runway alignment (08/26) experiences 100% favorable wind conditions, with an average crosswind of just 4.5 knots.
Approach Considerations
Given the prevailing southwesterly winds, runway 08/26 offers consistent wind alignment for arrivals and departures. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (0% below 3SM) and infrequent fog occurrences (0.8%). Pilots should prepare for potential instrument meteorological conditions, with IFR conditions present approximately 19.4% of the time.
