Weather Briefing
MVFRKenora Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,800 feet and 4 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 18 knots with gusts to 26 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 14-knot crosswind component (gusting to 20 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 4 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2800 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 5°C, indicating relatively dry conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Smoke, FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Smoke between 08:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Kenora Airport
Overview
Kenora Airport (CYQK) serves the northwestern Ontario region, situated at 1332 ft MSL near the city of Kenora. The medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for transportation and regional connectivity in this remote Canadian landscape. Its single runway of 5800 ft accommodates various aircraft types supporting local and transit operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather at Kenora demonstrates significant seasonal variability, with temperatures ranging from -35°C to 28°C. Visual flight rules (VFR) dominate 57.3% of observations, though pilots should anticipate moderate visibility challenges with 5.3% of reports showing conditions below 3SM. September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR flying months, with minimal precipitation and stable atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic positioning experiences predominantly southerly winds averaging 7.9 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 24 knots. Runway 08/26 demonstrates 100% wind favorability, indicating excellent alignment with prevailing wind patterns. The airport's elevation and regional terrain suggest potential for rapid weather transitions typical of northwestern Ontario's complex meteorological environment.
Approach Considerations
Pilots approaching Kenora should anticipate an average crosswind of 5.8 knots, with calm conditions occurring in only 1.3% of observations. The runway's asphalt surface and substantial 5800 ft length accommodate most medium-sized aircraft with reliable performance margins. Given the variable weather conditions, thorough preflight planning and continuous weather monitoring are strongly recommended.
