Weather Briefing

IFR

Storuman Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (80°) at 7 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Storuman Airport

Overview

Storuman Airport serves the municipality of Storuman in northern Sweden, providing critical regional aviation infrastructure. Located at 64.960899°N, 17.696600°E, this medium-sized airport supports transportation needs in a remote Nordic region characterized by challenging terrain and seasonal variations.

Flying Conditions

Situated at 915 feet mean sea level, Storuman Airport experiences significant seasonal weather shifts typical of its high-latitude location. Pilots should anticipate potential winter conditions with low visibility, snow, and challenging wind patterns that can affect approach and landing procedures.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (15/33) with a substantial length of 7,490 feet, accommodating a variety of aircraft sizes and operational requirements. Its elevated position and surrounding landscape suggest potential turbulence and wind gradient considerations during approach and departure phases.

Approach Considerations

Runway 15/33 offers flexibility for arrivals and departures based on prevailing wind conditions. Given the airport's northern latitude and terrain, pilots should thoroughly review current meteorological data and be prepared for rapid weather changes that could impact landing and takeoff performance.
