Weather Briefing

MVFR

Trondheim Airport, Værnes is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 5 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1100 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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 24 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: Rain, Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 12:00Z and 19:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Showers Rain between 21:00Z and 03:00Z.

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. 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 Trondheim Airport, Værnes

Overview

Trondheim Airport, Værnes serves as a key transportation hub in central Norway, located near the city of Trondheim. Situated at an elevation of 56 feet MSL, the airport supports regional and national air traffic with its substantial infrastructure, featuring three runways ranging from 1,117 to 9,052 feet in length.

Flying Conditions

Located at 63.457802°N latitude, Værnes experiences significant seasonal weather variations typical of central Norwegian coastal regions. Pilots should anticipate potential challenging conditions, particularly during winter months, with potential low visibility, crosswinds, and precipitation affecting flight operations across the airport's multiple runway configurations.

Notable Features

The airport's three runways provide operational flexibility, with the primary 09/27 runway measuring 9,052 feet, allowing handling of larger commercial aircraft. Its coastal proximity and terrain surrounding Trondheim create potential wind shear and turbulence considerations that pilots must carefully evaluate during approach and departure phases.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will primarily depend on prevailing wind conditions, with the substantial 09/27 runway offering the most comprehensive operational capabilities. Pilots should carefully review current meteorological data and wind vectors to determine optimal runway selection, considering the airport's relatively low elevation and potential regional wind dynamics.
