Full aviation weather for Bayside is published on the Murray Field (KEKA) page, 6 km away. It carries the current METAR decoded into plain language — surface wind, visibility, cloud layers and ceiling, temperature and dewpoint, and altimeter setting — alongside the raw observation as transmitted. 4 airfields within reach of Bayside have their own pages, listed below.
The Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) is shown across its full validity period, with each change group broken out so you can see when conditions are expected to shift. Flight category is derived automatically — VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR — from reported ceiling and visibility, with runway details and field elevation alongside. Observations update roughly hourly and forecasts several times a day.

Soil conditions, frost risk and crop weather for Bayside.
Bayside rests where the land shoulders the vast Pacific, a place of salt-laced air and the perpetual whisper of the tide. It lies 5.9 miles east-north-east of Eureka, CA (from Eureka, CA: bearing 62°T), and is situated 1.9 miles south-south-east of Arcata. The rolling hills, cloaked in a deep, almost somber green of coastal scrub and Douglas fir, descend to meet the broad, grey sweep of Humboldt Bay. Here, the landscape is shaped by the ceaseless interplay of water and earth; estuaries snake inland, their muddy banks alive with the patient work of shorebirds, and the distant, often mist-shrouded peaks of the coastal range stand as silent guardians. The light here, particularly as the day begins to wane, possesses a peculiar, soft luminescence, filtering through the persistent fog to cast a gentle, ethereal glow over the undulating terrain. This stretch of coast has long been a place of sustenance and quiet industry for the people of Bayside. Historically, the bounty of the bay and the surrounding forests provided livelihoods, from the logging that once defined the region to the fishing that continues to be a vital thread in its economic fabric. The presence of the nearby university, a beacon of learning on the northern California coast, brings a different kind of energy, a youthful curiosity that contrasts with the enduring, unhurried pace of life rooted in the land and sea. Bayside itself, though small, holds a distinct character, a sense of place forged by generations who have learned to live in concert with the powerful, untamed forces of this rugged coastline.
