Weather Briefing

MVFR

Bornholm Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (260°) at 8 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 15°C (59°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 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: Mist, Light Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 00:00Z and 01:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 01:00Z and 08:00Z.

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.

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

About Bornholm Airport

Overview

Bornholm Airport serves the Danish island of Bornholm, located in the Baltic Sea. Positioned at 52 ft elevation with coordinates 55.063301, 14.759600, this medium-sized airport provides essential transportation links for the island's residents and visitors. The airport features a single runway 11/29 extending 6,568 feet with an asphalt surface.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate highly variable flying conditions, with VFR predominating at 51% of recorded periods. Pilots can expect moderate wind conditions averaging 10.9 knots from the south (180°), with maximum gusts reaching 36 knots. Seasonal temperature ranges from -9°C to 23°C, with an average of 7.4°C, providing relatively stable operating temperatures throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical position on an island creates unique meteorological dynamics, particularly wind patterns. Runway 11/29 demonstrates near-perfect wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of only 6.8 knots. September through November represent the most consistent VFR months for aviation operations.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should anticipate predominantly southern winds when planning approaches to runway 11/29. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal fog occurrence (1.4% of observations) and rare instances of visibility below 3 miles. The consistent wind profile and high percentage of VFR conditions generally support straightforward approach and landing procedures.
