KDYB by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KDYB reported VFR in 84% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 275 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 14% 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 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 24 had the best headwind 55% of the time, runway 06 45%, and winds were calm 52% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 70 days a year. 68% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 5% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 44 days a year, and fog or mist on 143. November and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 8% of hours, against 4% in June.
Field elevation is 56 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,878 ft, 1,822 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 45% of the time and averaged 3.1 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 4 kt) and August the calmest.

“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.
