KDUX by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KDUX reported VFR in 89% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 319 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 9% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 5% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 19 had the best headwind 37% of the time, runway 14 28%, and winds were calm 5% 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 22 days a year. From December to February KDUX was IFR or worse 7% of the time, against 3% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 18 days a year, and fog or mist on 68. February and March are the foggiest months, with fog in 5% of hours, against 2% in July.
Field elevation is 3,706 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 6,430 ft, 2,724 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 26% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 70 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 12 kt) and August the calmest.
