KAJG by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KAJG reported VFR in 79% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 260 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 12% 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 22 had the best headwind 31% of the time, runway 31 28%, and winds were calm 23% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 62 days a year. 47% of storm hours fall in April, June and July, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Snow fell on about 24 days a year. From December to February KAJG was IFR or worse 12% of the time, against 5% from June to August.
Field elevation is 429 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,121 ft, 1,692 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 13% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 62 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 8 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.

| 13 | 4,500 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 22 | 4,000 ft | ASP | - | - |

“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.
