Weather Briefing
IFRArvidsjaur Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 9 knots. Runway 12/30 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 700 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 4°C (39°F) with a dewpoint of 4°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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.

About Arvidsjaur Airport
Overview
Arvidsjaur Airport serves the northern Swedish region of Västerbotten, located at 65.590302N, 19.281900E with an elevation of 1,245 feet MSL. The medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure in a remote, northern landscape, supporting regional and potential military aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 56.2% of the time and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR/LIFR) accounting for approximately 32.8% of observations. Average temperatures hover around -3.6°C, with extreme ranges from -35°C to 18°C, indicating challenging winter flying conditions and potential icing risks.
Notable Features
The single runway (12/30) extends 8,201 feet with an asphalt surface, capable of handling medium-sized aircraft. Prevailing winds from the northwest (315°) average 6.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 31 knots. Wind conditions provide near-100% favorable alignment for runway 12/30, with a modest average crosswind of 2.8 knots.
Approach Considerations
September through December offer the most consistently favorable VFR conditions, with minimal fog (2.5% occurrence) and excellent average visibility of 10 statute miles. Pilots should anticipate potential winter weather challenges, prepare for potential instrument conditions, and leverage the runway's favorable wind alignment for safer approaches and departures.
