Weather Briefing
MVFRAberdeen International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 5 knots. Runway 32 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain, Light RADZ. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 23:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 20:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light RADZ between 15:00Z and 18:00Z.
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 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 Aberdeen International Airport
Overview
Aberdeen International Airport serves as a critical transportation hub for northeast Scotland, strategically located to support offshore oil and gas industry operations. The airport handles both commercial passenger traffic and significant helicopter and charter services related to North Sea energy sector logistics. Its four runways and medium airport classification make it an important regional aviation facility.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Aberdeen demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 48.5% of the time and Marginal VFR conditions occurring 27.8% of observations. Temperatures range from -8°C to 20°C with an average of 6.9°C, presenting potential icing and temperature-related performance considerations. September, October, and November statistically offer the most favorable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features four runways with varying lengths and surfaces, providing operational flexibility for different aircraft types. The longest runway (16/34) at 6,407 feet offers the most substantial landing and takeoff options. Prevailing winds from the south (180°) average 10.7 knots, with maximum recorded winds of 36 knots, indicating potential wind management challenges for pilots.
Approach Considerations
All four runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with average crosswind components ranging between 5-8.5 knots. Runway 05/23 has the highest average crosswind at 8.5 knots, requiring particular attention during approach and landing. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility, though fog is present in approximately 3% of observations.
