KDXX by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KDXX reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 275 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 16% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 6% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 32 had the best headwind 37% of the time, runway 14 32%, and winds were calm 15% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north-northwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 57 days a year. From December to February KDXX was IFR or worse 14% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 40 days a year. 63% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 1,083 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,699 ft, 1,616 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 19% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 75 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and August the calmest.
