Weather Briefing

MVFR

Stauning Vestjylland Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 7 km visibility. Note: This observation is 791.4 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 7 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

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.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Stauning Vestjylland Airport

Overview

Stauning Vestjylland Airport serves the western Jutland region of Denmark, located near the town of Skjern. As a medium-sized airport positioned at a modest 17 ft MSL, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area and regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 62.5% of observations showing clear weather and only 17.5% of time under restrictive IFR or LIFR conditions. The airport experiences a moderate maritime climate with temperatures ranging from -14°C to 21°C, and average wind conditions of 8.8 knots predominantly from the east.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (09/27) measuring 4,757 feet, oriented to take advantage of the consistent easterly wind patterns. Its low elevation and coastal proximity suggest potential for wind shear and rapid visibility changes typical of maritime airport environments.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27 offers excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of just 5.4 knots. September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR flying months, with minimal fog (1.9% occurrence) and excellent average visibility of 10 statute miles.
