KDYL by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KDYL reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 274 flyable days a year. July 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 23 had the best headwind 59% of the time, runway 05 41%, and winds were calm 42% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 22 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 5. From December to February KDYL was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 7% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 26 days a year. 72% 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 393 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,920 ft, 1,527 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 14% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 47 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 variable at 4 kt: light and variable wind like this is generally not a factor for runway selection, and with no steady direction there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 05 | 3,004 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 23 | 3,004 ft | ASP | - | - |

“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.
