KDLL by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KDLL reported VFR in 75% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 247 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 22% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 9% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 19 had the best headwind 35% of the time, runway 32 32%, and winds were calm 21% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 57 days a year. From December to February KDLL was IFR or worse 18% of the time, against 6% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 36 days a year. 56% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Gusts showed up in 17% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 47 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and August the calmest.

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.

“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.
