Weather Briefing

MVFR

Wiarton Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,800 feet and 15 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 8 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 2800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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 3 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: FCST. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with FCST between 20:00Z and 23:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Wiarton Airport

Overview

Wiarton Airport serves the Bruce Peninsula region in Ontario, Canada, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the area. Located at 44.745800, -81.107201 with an elevation of 729 ft MSL, the airport supports regional transportation and general aviation activities. Its medium-sized classification and two runways enable diverse aircraft operations in southwestern Ontario.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Wiarton Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 55.1% of the time. Marginal VFR conditions occur 27.8% of observations, while Instrument Flight Rules develop in 15.2% of cases. Seasonal temperature ranges from -23°C to 28°C, with an average of 1.9°C, creating potential for dynamic meteorological scenarios.

Notable Features

The airport features two distinct runways: Runway 05/23 measuring 5021 feet of asphalt surface, and Runway 11/29 at 3100 feet with a gravel surface. Prevailing winds consistently approach from the south at 180 degrees, with an average speed of 8.7 knots and occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Wind patterns are remarkably consistent, with both runways demonstrating 100% favorable wind alignments.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should anticipate southern wind patterns with an average crosswind of approximately 5.5 knots across both runways. Visibility typically exceeds 10 statute miles, though 12.9% of observations present visibility below 3SM. October, September, and November represent the most favorable months for visual flight conditions, offering optimal approach and departure environments.
