KBGM reported VFR in 69% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 207 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 24% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 9% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 8%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 28 had the best headwind 32% of the time, runway 34 31%, and winds were calm 9% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
