| Threshold | Course | Length | Width | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 09 | 90° | 2,759 m (9,052 ft) | 45 m (148 ft) | asphalt |
| 27 | 270° |
The course is derived from the runway designator (number × 10), not from a survey - the actual magnetic bearing can differ by a few degrees.
Declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, LDA) are published in the national AIP - they are not part of this table.
Climate at Trondheim Airport, Værnes - statistics from METAR reports
What the METAR reports from ENVA for 2023-2025 show - counted hour by hour.
We computed these statistics from 26,010 METAR reports issued by ENVA in 2023-2025. VFR conditions prevailed 79% of the time, MVFR 18% and IFR or LIFR 3%. Best month for VFR flying: September (86% of hours VFR). Most IFR and LIFR hours: November (7%).
Through the day, IFR or LIFR conditions are most frequent around 03:00 UTC (4% of reports at that hour) and least frequent around 12:00 UTC (2%).
Fog (FG) was reported on 6.7 days a year on average, most often in August. Thunderstorms (TS) occurred on 2.7 days a year on average, and snowfall on 63.
The wind most often blows from E (90°) - 19% of reports. Calm (0 kt) made up 2% of reports, and gusts of 25 kt or more appeared in 2%. Warmest month: July (average high 21.2 °C); coldest: January (average low -4.0 °C).

Runway headings and wind
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 09/27 on 90° and 270° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.
For the 09/27 axis, wind from the south (around 180°) or from the north (around 360°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 90° or 270° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
METAR and TAF for ENVA
Weather reports for Trondheim Airport, Værnes are published under the ICAO code ENVA. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.
The decoder breaks the ENVA report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.
Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for ENVA, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The Europe/Oslo zone is GMT+01:00 in winter and GMT+02:00 in summer - that is the shift to apply to the time in the report to get local time at the airport.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Meråker Airfield Øian (ENMO, 45 km), Ørland Airport (ENOL, 71 km), Røros Airport (ENRO, 100 km). When no report is available for ENVA, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
