Current pilot readout for KDEW
KDEW is currently MVFR with winds from 210° at 5 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and a 1,500 ft ceiling. the wind favors southwest-facing runway ends (16, 23). Density altitude is approximately 1,700 ft (field elevation 2,211 ft). KDEW does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KSFF, about 18 nm away.
KDEW by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KDEW reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 255 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 30% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 6% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 16 had the best headwind 40% of the time, runway 34 28%, and winds were calm 33% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 48 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 3. From December to February KDEW was IFR or worse 26% of the time, against 2% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 61 days a year, and fog or mist on 143. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 26% of hours, against 1% in July.
Field elevation is 2,211 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 4,106 ft, 1,895 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 28% of the time and averaged 4.8 kt overall. April is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and January the calmest.
