Weather Briefing

MVFR

Thisted Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (180°) at 11 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 11-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 5°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, Light Showers Rain, RADZ. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 08:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with RADZ between 08:00Z and 16:00Z.

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. 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 Thisted Airport

Overview

Thisted Airport serves the North Jutland region of Denmark, providing critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and general aviation. Located at coordinates 57.068802, 8.705220, the airport offers a strategically positioned medium-sized facility for pilots operating in the northeastern Danish coastal area.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a low elevation of 23 feet MSL, Thisted Airport experiences maritime influenced weather typical of the North Sea coastal environment. The airport's single runway (10/28) measuring 5,249 feet with an asphalt surface provides reliable operational capabilities across varying seasonal conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical position near the Limfjord region presents unique terrain considerations for pilots, with potential maritime wind patterns and coastal atmospheric interactions. Its single runway oriented at 10/28 allows flexibility for approaches and departures based on prevailing wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's substantial 5,249-foot length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and provides generous landing and takeoff margins. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind components due to the airport's coastal location, and plan approach strategies considering the runway's longitudinal orientation relative to typical regional wind patterns.
