Weather Briefing
IFRAndøya Airport, Andenes is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Rain. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions between 06:00Z and 13:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.

The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary runway 14/32 at 8,097 ft and a secondary runway 03/21 at 5,486 ft.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Andøya Airport are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 74.6% of observations supporting VFR operations. Meteorological data indicates consistent southern winds averaging 12.1 knots, with temperature ranges from -14°C to 19°C. Pilots can expect highly reliable flying conditions, with only 4.5% of observations requiring instrument flight rules and minimal fog occurrence.
Notable Features
The airport's high-latitude location at 69.29°N presents unique geographical characteristics typical of northern Norwegian coastal regions. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and moderate average crosswind values of 7.7 knots for runway 03/21 and 7.1 knots for runway 14/32. The airport's coastal positioning influences its consistent meteorological patterns.
Approach Considerations
Prevailing southern winds (180°) suggest runway orientation favors approaches from the north and south. Pilots should anticipate stable approach conditions, with exceptional visibility averaging 10 statute miles and minimal restrictions. January, September, and October statistically offer the most favorable visual meteorological conditions for operations at Andøya Airport.
