Weather Briefing

VFR

Ronneby Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 9 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 9-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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. 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: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 15:00Z and 18:00Z.

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 Ronneby Airport

Overview

Ronneby Airport (ESDF) serves the southeastern coastal region of Sweden, located near the city of Ronneby. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway measuring 7,648 feet, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potential military/civil operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Ronneby are predominantly visual (VFR at 49.3%), with marginal conditions (MVFR) occurring in 27.6% of observations. Pilots can expect southwest winds averaging 7.2 knots, with temperatures ranging from -17°C to 23°C and excellent average visibility of 10 statute miles.

Notable Features

The airport sits at an elevation of 191 feet mean sea level, situated in a coastal geographic context. Its single runway (01/19) is asphalted and experiences favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind component of just 4.2 knots, indicating generally stable approach conditions.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the best VFR months for operations. The prevailing southwest winds at 225 degrees suggest runway 19 might offer most consistent wind alignment, with minimal crosswind challenges. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences given the airport's coastal location.
