KCDH by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KCDH reported VFR in 77% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 250 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 18% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 7% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 19 had the best headwind 56% of the time, runway 01 44%, and winds were calm 52% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 60 days a year, and fog or mist on 230. September and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 15% of hours, against 7% in April.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 12 days a year. 46% of storm hours fall in May, June and July, peaking in May when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 130 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,222 ft, 2,092 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 45% of the time and averaged 3.4 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and September 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.

“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.
