KDHN 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 DHN in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from DHN's own airspace.
KDHN reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 271 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 17% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 14 had the best headwind 25% of the time, runway 18 25%, and winds were calm 17% 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 68 days a year. 56% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 47 days a year, and fog or mist on 159. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 12% of hours, against 4% in June.
Field elevation is 401 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,314 ft, 1,913 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
