Current pilot readout for K40J
K40J is currently VFR with calm winds, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. Density altitude is approximately 850 ft (field elevation 44 ft). K40J does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KTLH, about 45 nm away.
K40J by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
K40J reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 262 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 23% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 9% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 6%).
Thunderstorms were reported on about 70 days a year.
Fog was reported on about 55 days a year, and fog or mist on 131.
Field elevation is 44 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,879 ft, 1,835 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 33% of the time and averaged 4.3 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and August the calmest.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
