Weather Briefing

LIFR

Haverfordwest Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (270°) at 10 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 23 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 11:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 18:00Z and 20:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 20:00Z and 03:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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 Haverfordwest Airport

Overview

Haverfordwest Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, serving the western region of the United Kingdom. Situated at an elevation of 159 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area. Its geographical coordinates at 51.833099, -4.961110 place it in a strategic location for regional and general aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location in southwest Wales suggests potential for variable maritime weather conditions that pilots should carefully monitor. With two asphalt runways (03/21 at 5000ft and 09/27 at 3412ft), the airport offers flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shear and rapid weather changes typical of the Welsh coastal environment.

Notable Features

Haverfordwest Airport features two parallel runways with different lengths, providing operational versatility for various aircraft categories. The longer 03/21 runway at 5000 feet accommodates larger aircraft, while the shorter 09/27 runway offers additional operational flexibility. The airport's moderate elevation and coastal positioning suggest potential terrain and wind considerations during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will primarily depend on prevailing wind conditions, with the two differently oriented runways (03/21 and 09/27) allowing pilots to choose the most favorable approach. The asphalt surface of both runways provides consistent landing characteristics, with the longer 03/21 runway offering more runway length for larger aircraft. Pilots should prepare for potential maritime weather influences during approach and landing procedures.
