Weather Briefing
MVFRCoral Harbour Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 15 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (360°) at 5 knots. Runway 34 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is -9°C (16°F) with a dewpoint of -11°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. 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 12 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: Light Snow, Light Snow, FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Snow between 01:00Z and 09:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Snow, FCST between 09:00Z and 13:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Coral Harbour Airport
Overview
Coral Harbour Airport serves the remote community of Coral Harbour in Nunavut, Canada, located in the northwestern part of Hudson Bay. As a medium-sized airport at 210 ft mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this isolated Arctic region, supporting regional and local aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect significant weather variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions predominating 64.5% of the time. Winter conditions are extreme, with average temperatures at -10.6°C and potential ranges from -40°C to 16°C. Visibility is generally good at 12.8 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for periodic reduced visibility, with 3.7% of observations showing less than 3SM and 4.5% reporting fog.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (16T/34T) is 5000 feet long with a gravel (GVL) surface, typical of remote northern Canadian airports. Prevailing winds are from the north at an average of 11.7 knots, with occasional strong gusts up to 38 knots. The geographic location suggests challenging Arctic flying conditions with potential for rapid weather changes.
Approach Considerations
Wind conditions strongly favor the 16T/34T runway, with a 100% favorable wind alignment and an average crosswind of only 5.6 knots. The best visual flying months are November, December, and September, offering more stable conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential rapid weather deterioration and have alternate flight planning strategies for this remote location.
