Weather Briefing
MVFRStockholm Skavsta Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 11 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions between 05:00Z and 09:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

About Stockholm Skavsta Airport
Overview
Stockholm Skavsta Airport serves the Nyköping region in southeastern Sweden, functioning as a medium-sized airport located approximately 100km southwest of Stockholm. The airport sits at an elevation of 140 feet above mean sea level and features two substantial asphalt runways capable of handling diverse aircraft operations. Its strategic location and infrastructure make it an important regional aviation facility.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Skavsta demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 55.6% of the time and Marginal VFR conditions occurring 18.3% of observations. Pilots should anticipate predominantly westerly winds averaging 7.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 26 knots. Temperature ranges from -12°C to 21°C, indicating substantial seasonal temperature fluctuations that could impact aircraft performance.
Notable Features
The airport's dual runway configuration (08/26 at 9,442ft and 16/34 at 6,690ft) provides operational flexibility across different wind conditions. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with minimal average crosswind components of 5 knots and 4.7 knots respectively. The relatively low elevation and flat surrounding terrain contribute to predictable approach and departure environments.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most favorable VFR months, offering optimal visual flying conditions with consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles. Pilots can expect minimal fog occurrence (7.7% of observations) and reliable wind patterns predominantly from the west at 270 degrees. The substantial runway lengths accommodate a wide range of aircraft types with consistent wind alignment.
