What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KBYI reported VFR in 92% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 308 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 11% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 2% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 24 had the best headwind 43% of the time, runway 20 29%, and winds were calm 20% 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 51 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 2. From December to February KBYI was IFR or worse 9% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 21 days a year. 67% of storm hours fall in May, July and August, peaking in August when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 4,153 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 6,580 ft, 2,427 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 17% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 58 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 9 kt) and August the calmest.
