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 MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 08:00Z and 19:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Fog between 23:00Z and 04:00Z.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
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.
