KALI by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KALI reported VFR in 79% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 274 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 18% 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 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 13 had the best headwind 46% of the time, runway 35 25%, and winds were calm 11% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 76 days a year, and fog or mist on 204. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 17% of hours, against 7% in August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 42 days a year. 47% of storm hours fall in May, July and September, peaking in May when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 178 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,557 ft, 2,379 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 19% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 77 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 9 kt) and September the calmest.
