Weather Briefing
VFRMalmö Sturup Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 5 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 5°C (41°F) with a dewpoint of 5°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: Fog, Showers Rain. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 00:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Malmö Sturup Airport
Overview
Malmö Sturup Airport serves the southern Swedish region of Skåne, located approximately 30 kilometers east of Malmö. As a medium-sized airport with two paved runways, it supports regional and international commercial aviation, providing critical transportation infrastructure for southern Sweden.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences significant weather variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions prevailing in 51.1% of observations and marginal VFR conditions in 24.4% of cases. Pilots should anticipate southwest winds averaging 9.1 knots, with temperature ranges from -16°C to 22°C and average visibility of 10 statute miles.
Notable Features
Situated at 236 feet mean sea level, Malmö Sturup Airport features two runways: a shorter 2,615-foot runway (11/29) and a longer 9,186-foot runway (17/35). Both runways demonstrate consistent favorable wind alignments, with minimal crosswind challenges averaging 5.7 and 6.1 knots respectively.
Approach Considerations
Seasonal considerations suggest September through November offer the most stable VFR conditions for operations. With predominant southwest winds at 225 degrees, pilots can expect predictable wind patterns that generally align favorably with both runway configurations, facilitating smoother approaches and departures.
