Weather Briefing
VFRYarmouth Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 25,000 feet and 15 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 7 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 25000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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 12 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: Mist, FCST. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Mist, FCST between 23:00Z and 00:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Yarmouth Airport
Overview
Yarmouth Airport (CYQI) is a medium-sized airport located in Yarmouth, Canada, serving the southwestern Nova Scotia region. Situated at an elevation of 141 feet MSL with coordinates 43.826900, -66.088097, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area. Its two asphalt runways offer versatile operational capabilities for various aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 54.2% of observations in VFR and 26.4% in Marginal VFR conditions. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 11.7 knots characterize the airport's wind profile, with temperatures ranging from -11°C to 23°C. September, October, and November represent the best months for VFR flying, with optimal visibility and minimal weather disruptions.
Notable Features
Both runways (06/24 at 6000ft and 15/33 at 5000ft) demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. The airport experiences visibility averages of 11.2 statute miles, with only 8.7% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles. Fog occurs in 4.9% of observations, which pilots should consider during flight planning.
Approach Considerations
Crosswind conditions are moderate, with average crosswind components of 8.1 knots for runway 06/24 and 6.9 knots for runway 15/33. Pilots can expect relatively consistent wind patterns from the west (270°), with occasional maximum wind speeds up to 35 knots. Calm conditions occur in just 1.3% of observations, providing generally stable approach environments.
