Weather Briefing
MVFRBardufoss Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, DZRA, Partial Fog. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with DZRA between 06:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Partial Fog between 22:00Z and 05:00Z.
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 Bardufoss Airport
Overview
Bardufoss Airport serves the Målselv region in northern Norway, situated at 69.055801°N latitude. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 252 feet MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure in a challenging Arctic environment. The airport supports regional transportation and likely serves military and civilian operations given its strategic northern location.
Flying Conditions
Statistical data reveals predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 86% of observations indicating clear flying weather. Winter temperatures averaging -4.3°C with extreme ranges from -33°C to 22°C present significant temperature variability. Wind patterns are predominantly westerly at 270° with an average speed of 6.4 knots, though calm conditions occur 48.1% of the time, which can impact takeoff and landing procedures.
Notable Features
The single runway 10/28 spans 8,015 feet with an asphalt surface, accommodating various aircraft types. The airport's high latitude location means significant seasonal light variations and potential challenging winter conditions. Geographically positioned in northern Norway, pilots can expect complex terrain and potential rapidly changing meteorological conditions typical of Arctic regions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 2.7 knots. September, January, and October represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate minimal visibility restrictions, with observations showing an average visibility of 10 statute miles and fog present in only 5.1% of recorded conditions.
