Weather Briefing

IFR

Stockholm-Bromma Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 900 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 7 knots. Runway 12/30 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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 2 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Showers Rain between 19:00Z and 21:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.
