Weather Briefing
VFRKalgoorlie Boulder Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 3°C (37°F) with a dewpoint of 3°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. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport
Overview
Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport serves the mining region of Western Australia, located in the arid interior of the state. Situated at an elevation of 1203 ft MSL near the city of Kalgoorlie, this medium-sized airport supports regional and resource industry aviation operations in a remote area of Western Australia.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences highly consistent VFR conditions, with 96.3% of observations presenting clear flying weather. Prevailing winds from the southeast at 135° average 10 knots, with occasional gusts up to 34 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 4°C to 44°C, with an average of 22.3°C, requiring careful preflight planning for aircraft performance.
Notable Features
Both runways (11/29 and 18/36) are constructed with asphalt surfaces, providing flexible operational capabilities. The airport's location in the interior of Western Australia means pilots should anticipate arid terrain characteristics and potential thermal turbulence during warmer months. The wide temperature range suggests potential density altitude considerations during summer operations.
Approach Considerations
Both primary runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components (5.4kt on 11/29, 6.9kt on 18/36). January, December, and October represent the most consistently favorable flying months, with exceptional visibility averaging 10 statute miles and virtually no instances of reduced visual conditions.
