Weather Briefing

VFR

Vängsö Airfield is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 17 knots. Runway 15/33 is favored with a 17-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,600 ft (TCU), scattered at 2,000 ft. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
