KCAG by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KCAG reported VFR in 93% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 310 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 12% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually fog and low visibility rather than low ceilings (visibility under 3 miles 4% of hours, ceilings under 1,000 ft 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 25 had the best headwind 64% of the time, runway 07 36%, and winds were calm 42% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 2% of hours.
Snow fell on about 74 days a year. From December to February KCAG was IFR or worse 10% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 45 days a year. 66% of storm hours fall in July, August and September, peaking in August when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 6,197 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 8,996 ft, 2,799 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 10% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 59 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and January the calmest.

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.
