Weather Briefing
MVFRGdańsk Lech Wałęsa 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 (350°) at 5 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-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 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 8°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: Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Light Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 00:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 19:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Mist between 23:00Z 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.

About Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport
Overview
Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport serves as a primary international airport for northern Poland, located in the Tricity metropolitan area. Positioned near the Baltic Sea coast, the airport is a critical transportation hub for the Pomeranian region, handling commercial passenger and cargo operations. Its substantial runway at 9,186 feet supports a wide range of aircraft types and international traffic.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 489 feet MSL provides relatively stable approach conditions with moderate terrain variation. Being situated near the Baltic coastline, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences, including rapid atmospheric changes and potential low visibility scenarios. Seasonal wind patterns can significantly impact approach and departure procedures, particularly during autumn and winter months.
Notable Features
The single runway (11/29) is constructed of asphalt and offers substantial length for complex aircraft operations. Its geographical position at 54.377602N, 18.466200E places the airport in a strategic location for regional and international air traffic. The surrounding terrain is generally flat, which contributes to predictable approach paths and reduced terrain-related navigation challenges.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations, particularly from maritime wind patterns. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear and turbulence typical of coastal airport environments. The extensive runway length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and helps mitigate potential landing/takeoff performance constraints.
