Weather Briefing
VFRHavre-Saint-Pierre Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,100 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 6 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 7100 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: FCST, FCST. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with FCST, FCST between 07:00Z and 14:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Havre-Saint-Pierre Airport
Overview
Havre-Saint-Pierre Airport serves the coastal region of Quebec, Canada, located at 50.281898, -63.611401. As a medium-sized airport situated at 124 ft MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the northeastern maritime area. The airport supports regional transportation with its single runway 08/26, which measures 4,500 feet of asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Havre-Saint-Pierre demonstrate significant variability, with flight rules predominantly VFR (50.6%) but frequently transitioning to MVFR conditions (31.5%). Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 10 knots characterize the airport's wind profile, with occasional gusts up to 36 knots. Temperature ranges from -28°C to 19°C, creating potential for challenging winter operations.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical positioning along the Gulf of St. Lawrence coastline influences its meteorological patterns and operational challenges. Visibility averages 7.4 statute miles, with occasional reduced conditions, including 7% of observations below 3 statute miles. The runway alignment (08/26) demonstrates 100% favorable wind coverage, with an average crosswind component of 4.6 knots.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and December represent the most favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate westerly wind influences and prepare for potential rapid weather transitions. The runway's favorable wind alignment and moderate crosswind characteristics provide consistent approach options across different wind conditions.
