Weather Briefing
VFRRijeka Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 07:00Z and 11:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 14:00Z and 18:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Rijeka Airport
Overview
Rijeka Airport serves the northern Adriatic coastal region of Croatia, located in Omišalj on the island of Krk. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 278 feet MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation needs, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions 93% of the time, with extremely limited IFR (1%) and LIFR (0.3%) occurrences. Wind patterns are consistently from the northeast at 45 degrees, averaging 7.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 45 knots and calm conditions 6.2% of the time. Temperature ranges from -4°C to 29°C, with an average of 12.1°C, providing relatively stable operating conditions.
Notable Features
The single runway 14/32 is 8,164 feet long with a PEM (Pavement) surface, offering substantial landing and takeoff capabilities. The airport's coastal location near the Adriatic Sea introduces potential maritime weather influences, including variable wind conditions and occasional reduced visibility. Pilots should be attentive to the local topography and potential wind shear effects typical of island airport environments.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32 demonstrates favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind component of 5.5 knots. September, October, and November represent the best months for VFR operations, offering the most consistent and predictable flying conditions. Pilots should anticipate excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility or fog.
