KCNK by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KCNK reported VFR in 85% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 286 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and March the least, with IFR or worse 9% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 5% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 34% of the time, runway 12 23%, and winds were calm 9% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 51 days a year. 55% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Snow fell on about 21 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 4. From December to February KCNK was IFR or worse 9% of the time, against 3% from June to August.
Field elevation is 1,488 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,626 ft, 2,138 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 22% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 76 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 11 kt) and August the calmest.
