Weather Briefing
MVFRBella Bella (Campbell Island) Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,800 feet and 7 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 5 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 SM. The ceiling is 2300 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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 Bella Bella (Campbell Island) Airport
Overview
Bella Bella (Campbell Island) Airport serves the coastal community of Bella Bella in British Columbia, Canada, located at coordinates 52.185001, -128.156994. As a medium airport situated at 141 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region's remote coastal area. The airport features a single asphalt runway (13/31) measuring 3,700 feet in length.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Bella Bella Airport demonstrate significant variability, with 42.4% of observations classified as Marginal VFR and 39.7% as clear VFR conditions. Temperature ranges from -10°C to 26°C, with an average of 6.5°C, presenting potential seasonal challenges for pilots. Wind patterns are predominantly from the south (180°) at an average of 6.4 knots, with occasional gusts up to 29 knots and calm periods occurring 15.6% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's coastal location suggests potential for rapidly changing meteorological conditions typical of British Columbia's marine environment. Terrain surrounding the airport likely includes coastal landscape with potential for localized wind shear and visibility restrictions. The single runway (13/31) is oriented to maximize wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions present 100% of the time and an average crosswind of just 3.3 knots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate variable visibility conditions, with an average visibility of 7.2 statute miles and occasional periods below 3 miles occurring 2.8% of the time. Fog is relatively uncommon, appearing in only 1% of observations. October, November, and January represent the best months for consistently favorable VFR conditions, providing optimal flying windows for pilots navigating to or from Bella Bella Airport.
