Weather Briefing
IFRJoensuu Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 900 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (10°) at 5 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 10°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 3 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 15:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.

About Joensuu Airport
Overview
Joensuu Airport serves the North Karelia region in eastern Finland, positioned at 62.658815N, 29.619398E with an elevation of 398 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and supports various flight operations in this northern geographical context.
Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate variable flight rules, with 34.3% VFR, 23% MVFR, 24.4% IFR, and 18.3% LIFR conditions throughout the year. Temperature ranges dramatically from -26°C to 23°C, with an average of 0.5°C, indicating significant seasonal temperature fluctuations that can impact aircraft performance and flight planning.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a primary 8202ft asphalted runway (10/28) and a secondary 3937ft compacted runway (17/35). Prevailing winds are from the south (180°) at an average of 7.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 20 knots, and rare calm conditions (0.3% of observations).
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with Runway 10/28 experiencing an average 4.9-knot crosswind and Runway 17/35 experiencing a 3.8-knot crosswind. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal fog occurrence (3.7%), making September, October, and January the most favorable months for visual flight operations.
