KDVT by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KDVT reported VFR in 99% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 354 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 1% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft under 1% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles under 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the east-facing ends (07L, 07R) had the best headwind 52% of the time, the west-facing ends (25L, 25R) 48%, and winds were calm 32% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 23 days a year. 69% of storm hours fall in July, August and September, peaking in August when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 1,478 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 4,777 ft, 3,299 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 24% of the time and averaged 4.8 kt overall. July is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and December the calmest.
