Weather Briefing
VFRAttawapiskat Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 800 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 800 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 0°C (32°F) with a dewpoint of -3°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 10 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: Mist, FCST, FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 09:00Z and 13:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Mist between 09:00Z and 13:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Attawapiskat Airport
Attawapiskat Airport (CYAT/YAT) is located in Attawapiskat, CA at an elevation of 31 feet MSL. The airport has 1 runway (06/24), with the longest at 3,500 feet.
Weather Profile
CYAT is weather-challenged, with VFR conditions just 48.6% of the time across 10,875 observations. IFR/LIFR conditions are present 13.3% of the time, making an instrument rating essential for reliable access.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at CYAT come from the W (270°) with an average speed of 8.1 knots and recorded gusts up to 28 knots. Calm winds are rare (2.9%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 06/24 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 5.5 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are March, October, January, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from -38°C (-36°F) to 29°C (84°F), averaging -8.7°C (16°F). Cold weather operations require attention to aircraft preheating, de-icing, and cold-soaked fuel management. Altimeter settings typically range from 28.89 to 30.74 inHg (978-1041 hPa).
