Weather Briefing

VFR

Anglesey Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 9 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 3,600 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°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.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Anglesey Airport

Overview

Anglesey Airport serves as a strategic medium-sized airport located in northwestern Wales, situated at an elevation of 37 feet MSL. The airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Isle of Anglesey region, offering multiple runway configurations that support diverse flight operations. Its geographic position at coordinates 53.248100, -4.535340 makes it a key transportation hub for the area.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Anglesey Airport predominantly support visual flight rules (VFR), with 57.4% of observations indicating favorable VFR conditions. Pilots can expect moderate wind conditions, with a prevailing southerly wind at 180° averaging 14.5 knots and occasional gusts up to 48 knots. Temperature ranges from -1°C to 18°C, with an average of 10.1°C, providing relatively stable flying environments throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport features three asphalt runways with varying lengths: 01/19 at 5,377 feet, 08/26 at 2,200 feet, and 13/31 at 7,513 feet. All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, which provides pilots with consistent approach options. The extended runway 13/31 offers the longest landing surface, potentially accommodating a wider range of aircraft types.

Approach Considerations

Crosswind conditions are generally mild, with average crosswind components ranging from 7.7 to 10.9 knots across the three runways. September, January, and December represent the best months for visual flying conditions. Pilots should prepare for potential wind variations and utilize the multiple runway options to optimize landing and takeoff procedures based on current meteorological conditions.
