KBUR by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 4 ground stops and 0 ground delay programs for BUR between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 4 days. Low clouds were the most common reason (2 of 4). A typical ground stop lasted about 28 min.
KBUR reported VFR in 85% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 313 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and May the least, with IFR or worse 5% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 3% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 15 had the best headwind 60% of the time, runway 08 19%, and winds were calm 32% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Seasonal hazards are rare at KBUR: thunderstorms on about 3 days a year, fog on 8 and snow on 0. Wind is the main variable, with gusts in 4% of hours.
BUR departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 81% of the time across 30,130 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (92%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (74%).
Over the last 30 days of recorded D-ATIS broadcasts, KBUR ran mixed configuration 98% of the time and east flow 1%. Runway 08 was named for arrivals most often (97% of recorded hours), and the configuration changed 27 times.
