Weather Briefing
MVFRMariehamn Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 11 knots with gusts to 21 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component (gusting to 18 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1100 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 15:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 10:00Z.
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.

Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 50.5% of the time, with MVFR conditions occurring 25.9% of observations. The airport experiences a moderate maritime climate with temperatures ranging from -20°C to 21°C, and an average temperature of 5.2°C. Southwest winds (225°) dominate, averaging 8.9 knots with occasional gusts up to 34 knots.
Notable Features
The single runway 03/21 is 6243 feet long with an asphalted surface, oriented to maximize wind coverage. Wind analysis indicates 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind component of only 4.8 knots. Visibility is typically excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal fog occurrences (2.2% of observations).
Approach Considerations
September through November offer the most consistent VFR conditions for operations. The runway's orientation and wind characteristics suggest minimal wind-related approach challenges. Pilots should anticipate southwestern wind patterns and prepare for potential moderate wind variations during arrival and departure sequences.
