Weather Briefing
LIFRTurku Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (10°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°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 24 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: Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Fog. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast between 03:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 08:00Z and 19:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Fog 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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Turku Airport
Overview
Turku Airport serves the southwest Finland region, located near the city of Turku at an elevation of 161 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a single asphalt runway (08/26) measuring 8,202 feet, it supports regional and general aviation operations in the Finnish archipelago area.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate varied flying conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 46.4% of recorded periods. The airport experiences significant seasonal temperature variations, ranging from -24°C to 24°C, with an average temperature of 3.5°C. September through November represent the most favorable VFR months, offering more stable atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's wind profile is characterized by consistent easterly winds (90° direction) averaging 7.3 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 21 knots. Calm wind conditions occur in only 0.5% of observations, suggesting generally predictable wind patterns. Visibility remains consistently high, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions present 100% of the time. The average crosswind component is moderate at 4.3 knots, providing comfortable approach and landing conditions for most aircraft. Pilots should anticipate relatively stable approach conditions, particularly during the recommended VFR months.
