KCXE by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KCXE reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 274 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and September the least, with IFR or worse 15% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 11% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 36 had the best headwind 54% of the time, runway 18 47%, and winds were calm 53% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Seasonal hazards are rare at KCXE: thunderstorms on about 0 days a year, fog on 0 and snow on 0. Wind is the main variable, with gusts in 6% of hours.
Field elevation is 503 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,224 ft, 1,721 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 49% of the time and averaged 2.5 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 3 kt) and August 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.
