Weather Briefing
VFRInverness Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 14 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 14-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft, scattered at 3,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain between 09:00Z and 11:00Z. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions between 09:00Z and 13:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Inverness Airport
Overview
Inverness Airport serves the Scottish Highlands region, located in the northeastern part of Scotland at an elevation of 31 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalt runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Inverness area, supporting regional and commercial flight operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Inverness Airport are predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR), with 81.3% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. The prevailing southwest winds average 8.7 knots, with temperatures ranging from -6°C to 19°C and an average of 6.6°C. Pilots can expect favorable VFR conditions particularly during September, October, and November.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: 05/23 at 6,194 feet and 11/29 at 2,300 feet, both constructed of asphalt surface. Wind data indicates consistent wind patterns with minimal crosswind challenges, particularly on runway 05/23 which experiences 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of only 3.3 knots. Calm wind conditions occur 17.3% of the time.
Approach Considerations
Both primary runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with runway 05/23 offering the most consistent approach conditions. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (only 5.2% fog occurrence). Pilots should anticipate stable approach conditions, particularly during the autumn months when VFR conditions are most prevalent.
