Weather Briefing
VFRCharlottetown Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 18,000 feet and 15 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (80°) at 9 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 15 SM. The ceiling is 18000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
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.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 12 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Mist, Light Rain, Mist, FCST. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 00:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain, Mist between 04:00Z and 07:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Charlottetown Airport
Overview
Charlottetown Airport serves Prince Edward Island's capital city, situated on the eastern coast of Canada. As a medium-sized airport with two parallel asphalt runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Maritime region. The airport's elevation of 160 feet MSL and strategic location make it an important regional transportation hub.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with approximately 59.5% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Wind patterns are consistently westerly at an average of 9.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 31 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -17°C to 26°C, which requires careful preflight planning and equipment consideration.
Notable Features
The airport features two similarly sized runways (03/21 and 10/28), both approximately 7,000 feet long and constructed of asphalt. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and modest average crosswind components around 6.3 and 6.1 knots respectively. The coastal location likely contributes to the variable weather conditions observed.
Approach Considerations
September through November offer the most consistent VFR conditions for arrivals and departures. With an average visibility of 12.8 statute miles and only 5% of observations showing visibility below 3SM, pilots can generally expect good visual conditions. Fog occurs in approximately 1.5% of observations, so winter and shoulder seasons may require additional weather monitoring.
