Weather Briefing

MVFR

Oslo Airport, Gardermoen is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 10 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1100 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 4°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. 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, Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 08:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 08:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 12:00Z and 16:00Z.

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 Oslo Airport, Gardermoen

Overview

Oslo Airport, Gardermoen serves as Norway's primary international airport and primary hub for passenger and cargo operations. Located approximately 35 kilometers northeast of Oslo, the airport is a critical transportation infrastructure serving the capital region and national airline networks. With two substantial asphalt runways capable of handling large commercial aircraft, ENGM provides extensive aviation capabilities at an elevation of 681 feet above mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation and inland location create dynamic weather conditions that pilots must carefully evaluate. Seasonal variations can produce significant temperature ranges, with potential for winter icing conditions and summer thermal variations. Wind patterns will likely influence runway selection, with dual parallel runways (01L/19R and 01R/19L) offering operational flexibility during changing meteorological conditions.

Notable Features

Situated in the southeastern region of Norway, Gardermoen Airport is surrounded by relatively flat terrain with moderate elevation changes. The airport's geographical position provides relatively stable approach and departure corridors. The two runways offer substantial lengths - 11,811 feet and 9,678 feet respectively - which accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation (01/19) suggests prevailing wind considerations from north-south directions will be primary factors in approach planning. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios given the parallel runway configuration. The substantial runway lengths provide significant margin for safe operations across various aircraft categories and meteorological conditions.
