Weather Briefing
VFRGjoa Haven Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 8 knots. Runway 13T/31T is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
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.
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.

Weather Profile
CYHK is weather-challenged, with VFR conditions just 39.3% of the time across 13,360 observations. IFR/LIFR conditions are present 27% of the time, making an instrument rating essential for reliable access. Fog affects the airport in approximately 5.7% of observations, with visibility dropping below 3 statute miles 10.2% of the time.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at CYHK come from the NW (315°) with an average speed of 12.9 knots and recorded gusts up to 38 knots. Calm winds are rare (0.3%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 13T/31T offers the lowest average crosswind component at 7.6 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are April, March, February, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from -43°C (-45°F) to 19°C (66°F), averaging -17.4°C (1°F). Cold weather operations require attention to aircraft preheating, de-icing, and cold-soaked fuel management. Altimeter settings typically range from 28.91 to 30.88 inHg (979-1046 hPa).
