Weather Briefing
VFRMehamn Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 17 knots with gusts to 27 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 15-knot headwind and 9-knot crosswind component (gusting to 14 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3300 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 4°C (39°F) with a dewpoint of 0°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. Expected weather includes: Showers SNRA. Winds are forecast to reach up to 25 knots during the period. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 06:00Z and 10:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers SNRA between 10:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Mehamn Airport
Overview
Mehamn Airport serves the remote northeastern coastal region of Norway, located at 71.029701, 27.826700 in Troms og Finnmark county. As a medium-sized airport situated at 39 feet mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this northern maritime area, supporting regional and local aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Mehamn are predominantly VFR, with 76.3% of observations indicating visual flight rules. The airport experiences significant wind activity, with prevailing southerly winds at an average of 12.9 knots and occasional gusts up to 40 knots. Temperature ranges widely from -15°C to 21°C, with an average of 1.3°C, indicating potential for dynamic thermal conditions.
Notable Features
The single runway 17/35 is asphalted and 2,887 feet long, positioned to maximize wind alignment. Its geographic location in northern Norway suggests potential challenging environmental conditions typical of high-latitude airports, including potential rapid weather shifts and winter operational complexities. The airport maintains consistently good visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Runway 17/35 demonstrates excellent wind compatibility, with 100% favorable wind coverage and an average crosswind component of 6.7 knots. Pilots should note the most consistent VFR conditions occur in January, November, and September. The low percentage of IFR (3.8%) and LIFR (2%) conditions suggest relatively stable approach environments.
