Weather Briefing

VFR

Humberside Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 4,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 7 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,500 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

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.
