KCRP by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for CRP in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from CRP's own airspace.
KCRP reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 274 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and April the least, with IFR or worse 10% 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 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 13 had the best headwind 48% of the time, runway 18 24%, and winds were calm 7% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 45 days a year. 48% of storm hours fall in May, August and September, peaking in May when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
CRP departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 83% of the time across 4,049 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (91%) and 3 to 6 PM did worst (71%).
Fog was reported on about 52 days a year, and fog or mist on 140. January and February are the foggiest months, with fog in 15% of hours, against 2% in August.
