Current pilot readout for KBOS
KBOS is currently VFR with winds from 160° at 5 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and a 25,000 ft ceiling. The D-ATIS states arrivals on runway 22L and departures on runway 22R; crosswind on the active runways is approximately 3 kt; the wind favors runway ends 14, 15L, 15R, 22L, 22R. Density altitude is approximately -1,250 ft (field elevation 19 ft). KBOS does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KBOS, about 0 nm away.
KBOS by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 73 ground stops and 119 ground delay programs for BOS between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 132 days. Runway or taxiway work was the most common reason (56 of 192). A typical ground stop lasted about 1 h 19 min.
KBOS reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 275 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 12% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 7% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the northwest-facing ends (32, 33L, 33R) had the best headwind 24% of the time, runway 27 22%, and winds were calm 4% 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 34 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 3. From December to February KBOS was IFR or worse 11% of the time, against 8% from June to August.
BOS departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 76% of the time across 142,771 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (90%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (58%).
Over the last 30 days of recorded D-ATIS broadcasts, KBOS ran northwest flow 100% of the time. Runway 04L was named for arrivals most often (37% of recorded hours), and the configuration changed 136 times.

“Current use” is what the D-ATISstates; 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.
