Weather Briefing

VFR

Aarhus Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 5,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (260°) at 8 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 5100 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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 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: Showers Rain. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 21:00Z and 02:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 02:00Z and 05:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 05:00Z and 18:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Aarhus Airport

Overview

Aarhus Airport serves as a medium-sized airport in Denmark, located near the city of Aarhus at an elevation of 82 feet MSL. Positioned at coordinates 56.303331, 10.618286, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Central Denmark Region. Its dual parallel runways (10L/28R and 10R/28L) offer robust operational capabilities for various aircraft types.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Aarhus Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 48.4% of the time. Marginal VFR occurs 30.7% of observations, while Instrument Flight Rules are present 12.2% of the time. The airport experiences a wide temperature range from -14°C to 23°C, with an average of 6.5°C, and typically maintains good visibility averaging 10 statute miles.

Notable Features

Both runways are parallel and feature Pavement Edge Markings (PEM), with lengths of 9,111 feet and 8,865 feet respectively. Wind patterns are predominantly from the south (180°) at an average speed of 6.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 25 knots. Calm conditions occur in 4.3% of observations, and the airport experiences minimal fog, with only 3.4% of observations reporting foggy conditions.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect consistently favorable wind conditions for both runways, with 100% favorable wind alignments and an average crosswind of 3.6 knots. September, October, and November represent the best months for Visual Flight Rules operations. The parallel runway configuration provides flexibility for arrivals and departures, with consistent wind characteristics supporting predictable approach and landing strategies.
