Weather Briefing
IFRMariehamn Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 8 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 600 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 03:00Z and 06:00Z.
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 Mariehamn Airport
Overview
Mariehamn Airport serves the Åland Islands, a unique autonomous region between Finland and Sweden. Located at 60.122200, 19.898199, this medium-sized airport operates at a low elevation of 17 ft MSL and provides critical transportation infrastructure for the archipelago region.
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.
