KBPT by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for BPT in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from BPT's own airspace.
KBPT reported VFR in 77% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 236 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 24% 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 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 16 had the best headwind 37% of the time, runway 34 27%, and winds were calm 14% 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 69 days a year. 50% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in August when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 59 days a year, and fog or mist on 204. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 18% of hours, against 5% in August.
Field elevation is 15 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,977 ft, 1,962 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.

“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.
