Weather Briefing
VFRDala Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 10 knots. Runway 14/32 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,200 ft, scattered at 7,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 2 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. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 14:00Z and 16:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 15:00Z and 16:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Dala Airport
Overview
Dala Airport serves the Borlange region in Sweden, situated at an elevation of 503 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (14/32) measuring 7,579 feet, it provides important aviation infrastructure for central Sweden. The airport's coordinates (60.422001, 15.515200) place it in a region with variable weather conditions typical of Scandinavian inland areas.
Flying Conditions
Weather data indicates significant variability in flight rules, with VFR conditions predominant at 45.2% of observations. Pilots should anticipate MVFR conditions 25.3% of the time, with IFR and LIFR conditions occurring 17.7% and 11.9% respectively. Temperature ranges from -18°C to 20°C, with an average of 3.2°C, suggesting potential icing and temperature-related considerations during operations.
Notable Features
The airport experiences a prevailing westerly wind (270°) with an average speed of 6.8 knots and occasional gusts up to 29 knots. Wind conditions are calm 5.9% of the time. The runway alignment allows for favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility for runway 14/32 and an average crosswind of only 4.3 knots, which provides relatively comfortable approach and landing conditions.
Approach Considerations
September through November offer the best VFR conditions for pilots. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (no observations below 3SM) and occasional fog at 4% of recorded periods. The single runway's length and wind characteristics make it suitable for a variety of aircraft operations, with predictable wind patterns supporting consistent approach and departure strategies.
