Weather Briefing

VFR

Røst Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 4,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 11 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,400 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 8°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
