Weather Briefing

VFR

Ronneby Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 12 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 2°C (36°F) with a dewpoint of 1°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. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

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.

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

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Ronneby are predominantly visual (VFR at 49.3%), with marginal conditions (MVFR) occurring in 27.6% of observations. Pilots can expect southwest winds averaging 7.2 knots, with temperatures ranging from -17°C to 23°C and excellent average visibility of 10 statute miles.

Notable Features

The airport sits at an elevation of 191 feet mean sea level, situated in a coastal geographic context. Its single runway (01/19) is asphalted and experiences favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind component of just 4.2 knots, indicating generally stable approach conditions.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the best VFR months for operations. The prevailing southwest winds at 225 degrees suggest runway 19 might offer most consistent wind alignment, with minimal crosswind challenges. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences given the airport's coastal location.
