KDED by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KDED reported VFR in 87% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 273 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February 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 5% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 05 had the best headwind 26% of the time, runway 30 26%, and winds were calm 29% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 79 days a year. 64% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 6% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 21 days a year, and fog or mist on 100. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 6% of hours, against 1% in May.
Field elevation is 79 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,836 ft, 1,757 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 27% of the time and averaged 4.9 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and July the calmest.
