KCUH by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KCUH reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 283 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 12% 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 18 had the best headwind 33% of the time, runway 11 12%, and winds were calm 24% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 0% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 39 days a year. 48% of storm hours fall in April, May and August, peaking in May when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Snow fell on about 10 days a year. From December to February KCUH was IFR or worse 11% of the time, against 3% from June to August.
Field elevation is 925 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,118 ft, 2,193 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 20% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 50 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and September 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.
