Weather Briefing
MVFRGroningen Airport Eelde is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 5 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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 30 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: Light Showers Rain, Light DZRA, DZRA. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Light Showers Rain, Light DZRA between 18:00Z and 20:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with DZRA between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Groningen Airport Eelde
Overview
Groningen Airport Eelde serves the northeastern Netherlands, located near the cities of Groningen and Assen. As a medium-sized airport at 17 ft MSL, it provides regional aviation services with two asphalted runways capable of handling various aircraft types. The airport's strategic location offers important transportation infrastructure for the northern Netherlands region.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect variable weather conditions, with visual flight rules (VFR) prevailing 48.4% of the time. Temperature ranges from -11°C to 24°C, creating diverse operational challenges throughout the year. Wind patterns are predominantly southerly at an average of 8.6 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 28 knots. September through November offer the most consistent VFR conditions for flight operations.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 01/19 at 4,922 ft and 05/23 at 8,202 ft, both with asphalted surfaces. Both runways demonstrate consistent wind favorability, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswinds (4.8 kt and 4.4 kt respectively). Low elevation and flat surrounding terrain contribute to predictable approach characteristics.
Approach Considerations
With near-constant wind favorability, pilots can expect reliable runway selection based on current conditions. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (only 6.5% fog occurrences). The airport's statistical profile suggests minimal meteorological constraints for most flight operations, with instrument meteorological conditions present approximately 28.6% of the time.
