KDNV by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KDNV reported VFR in 74% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 232 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 18% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 21 had the best headwind 33% of the time, runway 34 26%, and winds were calm 17% 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 38 days a year. From December to February KDNV was IFR or worse 16% of the time, against 6% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 27 days a year, and fog or mist on 135. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 11% of hours, against 3% in April.
Field elevation is 697 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,292 ft, 1,595 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 20% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 56 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 9 kt) and August the calmest.
Sources: hourly observations 2006 to 2025 and the per-runway wind climatology 2006 to 2025. Historical summaries, not a forecast: check the current METAR, TAF and a briefing before flight.

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.
