Weather Briefing
VFREday Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 10 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3200 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 8°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 03:00Z.
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.

About Eday Airport
Overview
Eday Airport serves the Orkney island of Eday, located in the northern archipelago of Scotland. Positioned at 59.190601, -2.772220 and elevated at 10 ft mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the remote island community.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences maritime island weather typical of Scotland's northern latitudes, with potential rapid visibility and wind changes. At an elevation of just 10 ft MSL, the airport is vulnerable to marine atmospheric conditions and can encounter significant wind variability.
Notable Features
Eday Airport features two runways with distinctly different surface compositions: Runway 07/25 is a 1729 ft graded hardcore surface, while Runway 18/36 is a 1896 ft grass runway. The varied runway surfaces provide operational flexibility for different aircraft types and weather conditions.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should carefully assess current wind conditions when selecting runway, given the two available surfaces with different orientations. The relatively short runway lengths (under 2000 ft) require precise approach and landing techniques, with special consideration for the grass and hardcore surface variations.
Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
