Weather Briefing
IFRTurku Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (10°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 500 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°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 24 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: Mist, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast between 00:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Mist between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 08:00Z and 19:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Turku Airport
Overview
Turku Airport serves the southwest Finland region, located near the city of Turku at an elevation of 161 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a single asphalt runway (08/26) measuring 8,202 feet, it supports regional and general aviation operations in the Finnish archipelago area.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate varied flying conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 46.4% of recorded periods. The airport experiences significant seasonal temperature variations, ranging from -24°C to 24°C, with an average temperature of 3.5°C. September through November represent the most favorable VFR months, offering more stable atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's wind profile is characterized by consistent easterly winds (90° direction) averaging 7.3 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 21 knots. Calm wind conditions occur in only 0.5% of observations, suggesting generally predictable wind patterns. Visibility remains consistently high, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions present 100% of the time. The average crosswind component is moderate at 4.3 knots, providing comfortable approach and landing conditions for most aircraft. Pilots should anticipate relatively stable approach conditions, particularly during the recommended VFR months.
