Weather Briefing

VFR

Pärnu Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,900 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 5300 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

Situated at a low elevation of 47 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Pärnu region, supporting various general aviation and potential regional commercial operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate consistently favorable VFR conditions 46.2% of the time, with marginal VFR conditions an additional 23.9% of flying periods. The airport experiences moderate wind conditions, predominantly from the south at an average of 7.8 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 24 knots. Seasonal temperature variations are significant, ranging from -19°C to 24°C, with an average of 3.8°C.

Notable Features

The single runway 03/21 extends 6,463 feet and is constructed of concrete, offering substantial landing capacity for medium-sized aircraft. The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest minimal terrain complications for approach and departure procedures. Pilots can expect consistent wind alignment, with the current runway configuration favorable 100% of the time.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the most consistent VFR flying months, offering optimal visual conditions with minimal weather disruptions. The prevailing southerly winds create an average crosswind of 4 knots on runway 03/21, which is generally manageable for most aircraft types. Visibility consistently averages 10 statute miles, with extremely rare instances of restricted visibility.
