Weather Briefing

MVFR

Thisted Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (280°) at 16 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 16-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 20 knots. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 05:00Z and 20:00Z.

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 Thisted Airport

Overview

Thisted Airport serves the North Jutland region of Denmark, providing critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and general aviation. Located at coordinates 57.068802, 8.705220, the airport offers a strategically positioned medium-sized facility for pilots operating in the northeastern Danish coastal area.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a low elevation of 23 feet MSL, Thisted Airport experiences maritime influenced weather typical of the North Sea coastal environment. The airport's single runway (10/28) measuring 5,249 feet with an asphalt surface provides reliable operational capabilities across varying seasonal conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical position near the Limfjord region presents unique terrain considerations for pilots, with potential maritime wind patterns and coastal atmospheric interactions. Its single runway oriented at 10/28 allows flexibility for approaches and departures based on prevailing wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's substantial 5,249-foot length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and provides generous landing and takeoff margins. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind components due to the airport's coastal location, and plan approach strategies considering the runway's longitudinal orientation relative to typical regional wind patterns.
