Weather Briefing
LIFRKauhava Airfield is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with clear skies and 0.25 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.25 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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 9 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: Patches Fog, Fog, Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 23:00Z and 03:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Kauhava Airfield
Overview
Kauhava Airfield is a medium airport located in western Finland at 63.127102°N, 23.051399°E, serving the Kauhava region. The airport sits at an elevation of 151 feet above mean sea level, providing an important aviation infrastructure for the local area and regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
As a Finnish airfield, Kauhava experiences significant seasonal weather variations typical of Nordic latitudes, with potential challenges during winter months. The airport's relatively low elevation of 151 ft MSL suggests generally stable atmospheric conditions, though pilots should anticipate potential temperature and wind fluctuations consistent with the region's maritime-influenced climate.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (17/35) with a substantial length of 8,858 feet constructed with asphalt surface. Its geographic positioning in western Finland indicates the runway is likely oriented to accommodate prevailing wind patterns and regional terrain characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Runway 17/35's extended length of 8,858 feet provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments, utilizing the runway's full available length and considering the asphalt surface conditions, particularly during seasonal transition periods.
