Weather Briefing
LIFRTiree Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 200 feet and 0.6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 5 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 0.6 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is very low at 200 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
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: RADZ, Mist, Fog. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with RADZ, Mist between 09:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 09:00Z and 14:00Z.
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 Tiree Airport
Overview
Tiree Airport serves the Isle of Tiree, located in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, operating as a medium-sized airport at a low elevation of 38 feet MSL. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for this remote island, supporting essential regional connectivity with three distinct runways accommodating various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Tiree Airport demonstrate predominantly favorable VFR flying opportunities, with 77.6% of observations presenting visual flight conditions. The airport experiences prevailing southerly winds averaging 16.5 knots, with temperatures ranging from -2°C to 16°C and consistent visibility around 10 statute miles. September, January, and October statistically offer the most reliable VFR conditions for pilots.
Notable Features
The airport features three runways with asphalt (ASP) and concrete (CON) surfaces, offering multiple approach options for different wind scenarios. Its coastal island location suggests potential for rapid weather changes and wind variability, with wind speeds historically reaching up to 218 knots. The geographic position in the Hebrides presents unique meteorological characteristics typical of maritime island environments.
Approach Considerations
All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with modest average crosswind components ranging from 9 to 11.3 knots. Runway 05/23, the longest at 4600 feet, provides the primary operational surface for most aircraft. Pilots should anticipate consistent southerly wind patterns and be prepared for potential maritime weather influences during approach and landing.
