Current pilot readout for KANE
KANE is currently VFR with winds from 160° at 7 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and a 5,500 ft ceiling. the wind favors south-facing runway ends (18). Density altitude is approximately 1,300 ft (field elevation 912 ft). KANE does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KMSP, about 16 nm away.
KANE by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KANE reported VFR in 79% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 234 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 16% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 30% of the time, runway 27 30%, and winds were calm 17% 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 56 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 1. From December to February KANE was IFR or worse 12% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 19 days a year, and fog or mist on 93. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 10% of hours, against 2% in July.
Field elevation is 912 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,447 ft, 1,535 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 20% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 60 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and August the calmest.
