Weather Briefing
VFRÅre Östersund Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 6,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 12 knots. Runway 12/30 is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 6400 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR 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.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 2 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 20:00Z.
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 Åre Östersund Airport
Overview
Åre Östersund Airport serves the Jämtland region in central Sweden, providing air access to the mountainous area around Östersund. Located at an elevation of 1,233 feet MSL, the airport supports regional and commercial aviation with two asphalt runways capable of handling medium-sized aircraft.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at ESNZ demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 57.2% of observations. Temperatures range dramatically from -27°C to 20°C, with an average of 1°C, presenting potential challenges for winter operations. Wind patterns are consistently from the southeast at an average of 9.1 knots, with occasional gusts up to 39 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways (12/30 and 12L/30R) with substantial lengths of 8,202 and 4,034 feet respectively. Its geographical location at 63.194135, 14.500322 places it in a mountainous region with potential for complex terrain-induced weather patterns. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind of 4.1 knots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should note the most favorable VFR months are September, November, and October, offering more predictable flying conditions. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of reduced visibility (fog present in only 5.4% of observations). The consistent southeast wind makes runway 12/30 and 12L/30R highly reliable for approaches and departures.
