KCOE by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KCOE reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 255 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 19% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 20 had the best headwind 38% of the time, runway 02 28%, and winds were calm 14% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 28 days a year. From December to February KCOE was IFR or worse 19% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 16 days a year. 65% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air under 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 2,320 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 4,207 ft, 1,887 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
