VFRKuressaare Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 19,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 6 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 19000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 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: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 06:00Z and 15:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Kuressaare Airport
Overview
Kuressaare Airport serves the city of Kuressaare on Saaremaa Island in Estonia, providing regional aviation services as a medium-sized airport. Located at 14 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 58.229900, 22.509501, the airport features two asphalt runways supporting diverse aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly visual flight rules (VFR) conditions, with 51% of recorded METARs showing VFR and an additional 24.2% in marginal VFR. Seasonal temperature variations range from -12°C to 22°C, with an average of 5.5°C, suggesting significant thermal fluctuations that pilots should anticipate. September through November offer the most consistent VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: 05/23 measuring 2,621 feet and 17/35 measuring 4,980 feet, both constructed of asphalt. Prevailing winds from the south (180°) average 9.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 30 knots and rare calm periods (0.6% of observations). Visibility consistently remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal fog occurrence (0.4%).
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility. Runway 05/23 experiences an average crosswind of 6 knots, while runway 17/35 has a slightly lower average crosswind of 4.6 knots. Pilots should expect stable approach conditions with predictable wind patterns and high visibility.
