KBBP by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KBBP reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 283 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 low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 25 had the best headwind 55% of the time, runway 07 46%, and winds were calm 37% 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 64 days a year. 62% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 4% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 44 days a year, and fog or mist on 167. August and September are the foggiest months, with fog in 10% of hours, against 4% in April.
Field elevation is 147 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,019 ft, 1,872 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 36% of the time and averaged 3.9 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and August the calmest.
