Weather Briefing
MVFREday Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 23 knots. Runway 36 is favored with a 22-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 3°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 22 knots during the period. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 03:00Z and 12:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Eday Airport
Overview
Eday Airport serves the Orkney island of Eday, located in the northern archipelago of Scotland. Positioned at 59.190601, -2.772220 and elevated at 10 ft mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the remote island community.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences maritime island weather typical of Scotland's northern latitudes, with potential rapid visibility and wind changes. At an elevation of just 10 ft MSL, the airport is vulnerable to marine atmospheric conditions and can encounter significant wind variability.
Notable Features
Eday Airport features two runways with distinctly different surface compositions: Runway 07/25 is a 1729 ft graded hardcore surface, while Runway 18/36 is a 1896 ft grass runway. The varied runway surfaces provide operational flexibility for different aircraft types and weather conditions.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should carefully assess current wind conditions when selecting runway, given the two available surfaces with different orientations. The relatively short runway lengths (under 2000 ft) require precise approach and landing techniques, with special consideration for the grass and hardcore surface variations.
Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
