KDVK by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KDVK reported VFR in 78% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 254 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 13% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 19 had the best headwind 44% of the time, runway 31 28%, and winds were calm 38% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 17 days a year. From December to February KDVK was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 5% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 18 days a year, and fog or mist on 76. August and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 4% of hours, against 1% in April.
Field elevation is 1,021 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,703 ft, 1,682 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 12% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 49 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 6 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.
