Current pilot readout for KCNO
KCNO is currently VFR with winds from 280° at 6 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. the wind favors west-facing runway ends (26L, 26R). Density altitude is approximately 1,250 ft (field elevation 650 ft). KCNO does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KONT, about 5 nm away.
KCNO by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KCNO reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 306 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and May the least, with IFR or worse 4% 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 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the west-facing ends (26L, 26R) had the best headwind 57% of the time, runway 21 23%, and winds were calm 41% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 34 days a year, and fog or mist on 188. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 17% of hours, against 5% in July.
Field elevation is 650 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,814 ft, 2,164 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 35% of the time and averaged 4.5 kt overall. May is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and December the calmest.

“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.
