Weather Briefing
MVFRSørkjosen Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (360°) at 11 knots. Runway 32 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1300 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Sørkjosen Airport
Overview
Sørkjosen Airport serves the northern Norwegian region, located at 69.786797, 20.959400 with an elevation of 16 ft MSL. As a medium-sized airport positioned in a challenging Arctic environment, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Sørkjosen area, supporting regional transportation needs in this remote geographical location.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions 85.7% of the time, with significant variability in weather patterns. Temperature ranges dramatically from -19°C to 22°C, averaging 0.2°C, which can create challenging winter flying conditions. Wind patterns are predominantly from the southeast at 135° with an average speed of 10.1 knots, occasionally reaching maximum gusts of 37 knots.
Notable Features
Sørkjosen Airport features a single asphalt runway (14/32) measuring 3015 feet in length. The airport's geographic position in northern Norway presents unique challenges with potential rapid weather changes typical of Arctic coastal regions. Visibility is generally excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility or fog.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32 demonstrates favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind of only 2.9 knots. Pilots should note the best VFR months are September, January, and October, which offer the most consistent flying conditions. The low elevation and minimal terrain interference contribute to relatively straightforward approach and departure procedures.
