Weather Briefing
MVFRVisby Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 17 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 13-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1300 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 03:00Z and 09:00Z.
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 Visby Airport
Overview
Visby Airport serves the island of Gotland in southeastern Sweden, providing essential regional air connectivity. Located at an elevation of 164 feet MSL, the airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations with two runways accommodating diverse aviation needs. Its strategic position makes it a critical transportation hub for the island's maritime region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Visby Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 57.7% of the time. Pilots can expect predominantly southerly winds averaging 10.4 knots, with temperature ranges from -10°C to 22°C. September through November offer the most consistent VFR conditions, with minimal fog occurrence (1.4%) and typically excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways with different surface compositions: Runway 03/21 is asphalted and 6,562 feet long, while Runway 10/28 is grass-surfaced and 3,611 feet in length. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 6-7.3 knots. The island's coastal location likely influences local wind and weather patterns.
Approach Considerations
Given the prevailing southerly winds, pilots should anticipate approaches primarily to Runways 03 and 28. Both runways offer consistent wind alignment, minimizing challenging crosswind scenarios. The broad range of flight conditions—from VFR (57.7%) to Marginal VFR (25%)—suggests pilots should maintain flexible approach planning and be prepared for potential weather transitions.
