KBQK 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 BQK in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from BQK's own airspace.
KBQK reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 258 flyable days a year. July 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 8% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 7%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 25 had the best headwind 54% of the time, runway 07 46%, and winds were calm 24% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 90 days a year. 61% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in August when storms were in the air 6% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 53 days a year, and fog or mist on 110. November and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 8% of hours, against 3% in July.
Field elevation is 26 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,824 ft, 1,798 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.

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.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“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.
