KDAB 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 DAB in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from DAB's own airspace.
KDAB reported VFR in 89% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 298 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 9% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 3% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the northeast-facing ends (07L, 07R) had the best headwind 33% of the time, the southwest-facing ends (25L, 25R) 25%, and winds were calm 25% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 83 days a year. 63% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 6% of the time.
DAB departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 82% of the time across 3,279 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (93%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (71%).
Fog was reported on about 61 days a year, and fog or mist on 177. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 13% of hours, against 4% in August.
