Weather Briefing

MVFR

Humberside Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 11 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1200 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 5°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

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. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions between 21:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 02:00Z and 06:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Humberside Airport

Overview

Humberside Airport serves the northeastern region of Lincolnshire, located near Grimsby. Situated at 121 ft mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional and general aviation operations in the Humber area.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate predominantly VFR conditions, with 64.4% of METAR reports showing favorable flying conditions. Seasonal variations show significant temperature range from -6°C to 24°C, with prevailing southwestern winds at an average of 11.3 knots and maximum gusts up to 29 knots. September through November offer the most stable VFR flying conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary 7,218 ft runway (02/20) and a secondary 3,248 ft runway (08/26). Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and relatively low average crosswind components of 5.5 and 7.4 knots respectively. The airport's elevation and coastal proximity contribute to its unique meteorological characteristics.

Approach Considerations

With predominantly southwestern winds, runway 02/20 offers the most consistent approach conditions. Pilots should anticipate stable wind patterns and prepare for potential visibility variations, though the average visibility remains strong at 10 statute miles. Fog occurs in only 2.1% of observations, making instrument approaches generally predictable.
