KDLZ by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KDLZ reported VFR in 77% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 245 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 14% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 28 had the best headwind 63% of the time, runway 10 37%, and winds were calm 23% 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 43 days a year. From December to February KDLZ was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 47 days a year. 49% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Gusts showed up in 15% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 47 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and August the calmest.

“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.
