KAUG by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KAUG reported VFR in 76% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 257 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 20% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 11% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 9%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 35 had the best headwind 43% of the time, runway 17 23%, and winds were calm 23% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 47 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 9. From December to February KAUG was IFR or worse 16% of the time, against 16% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 85 days a year, and fog or mist on 173. June and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 17% of hours, against 12% in August.
Gusts showed up in 16% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 58 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 7 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.

| 17 | 5,002 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 26 | 2,613 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.
