Weather Briefing
MVFRStavanger Airport, Sola is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 8 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 8°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. 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: Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 15:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 06:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 21:00Z and 06:00Z.
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.

About Stavanger Airport, Sola
Overview
Stavanger Airport, Sola serves as a critical transportation hub for southwestern Norway, located near the city of Stavanger. Positioned at 29 feet above mean sea level, the airport is a large-scale facility supporting regional and international air traffic. Its strategic coastal location makes it an important gateway for both commercial and potential offshore operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location at 58.876701, 5.637780 typically experiences maritime weather patterns characteristic of western Norway, with potential for variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential low visibility and precipitation, especially during autumn and winter months. The two substantial asphalt runways (10/28 at 8,035 ft and 18/36 at 9,369 ft) provide robust options for handling diverse meteorological conditions.
Notable Features
Stavanger Airport, Sola features two parallel runways with significant length, enabling operations for a wide range of aircraft types. The airport's low elevation of 29 ft MSL minimizes altitude-related approach complexities. Its geographical position near the North Sea suggests potential for challenging wind interactions and maritime meteorological influences.
Approach Considerations
Given the airport's dual runway configuration, pilots have flexibility in approach and landing based on prevailing wind conditions. The extensive runway lengths (over 8,000 and 9,000 feet) provide substantial margins for safe operations across various aircraft categories. Crosswind considerations will be significant due to the airport's coastal positioning, potentially requiring precise wind assessment during approach.
