Weather Briefing

VFR

Humberside Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 6 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft (CB), scattered at 3,600 ft. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

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 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: Showers Rain, Heavy Showers RAGS. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 15:00Z and 00:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Heavy Showers RAGS between 15:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 18:00Z and 21:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Humberside Airport

Overview

Humberside Airport serves the northeastern region of Lincolnshire, located near Grimsby. Situated at 121 ft mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional and general aviation operations in the Humber area.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate predominantly VFR conditions, with 64.4% of METAR reports showing favorable flying conditions. Seasonal variations show significant temperature range from -6°C to 24°C, with prevailing southwestern winds at an average of 11.3 knots and maximum gusts up to 29 knots. September through November offer the most stable VFR flying conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalt runways: a primary 7,218 ft runway (02/20) and a secondary 3,248 ft runway (08/26). Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and relatively low average crosswind components of 5.5 and 7.4 knots respectively. The airport's elevation and coastal proximity contribute to its unique meteorological characteristics.

Approach Considerations

With predominantly southwestern winds, runway 02/20 offers the most consistent approach conditions. Pilots should anticipate stable wind patterns and prepare for potential visibility variations, though the average visibility remains strong at 10 statute miles. Fog occurs in only 2.1% of observations, making instrument approaches generally predictable.
