KCXO by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KCXO reported VFR in 78% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 263 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February 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 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 14 had the best headwind 46% of the time, runway 32 21%, and winds were calm 36% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 71 days a year. 44% of storm hours fall in May, June and July, peaking in May when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 52 days a year, and fog or mist on 213. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 16% of hours, against 8% in August.
Field elevation is 245 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,400 ft, 2,155 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 10% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 57 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and September the calmest.
