KADG by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KADG reported VFR in 76% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 240 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 15% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 6% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 29 had the best headwind 33% of the time, runway 23 30%, and winds were calm 16% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 50 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 6. From December to February KADG was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 28 days a year. 55% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Gusts showed up in 15% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 70 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and August the calmest.
