KDIJ by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KDIJ reported VFR in 87% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 269 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 15% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 4% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 22 had the best headwind 61% of the time, runway 04 39%, and winds were calm 21% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 108 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 6. From December to February KDIJ was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 36 days a year. 67% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in August when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 6,257 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 8,597 ft, 2,340 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
