KEHO by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KEHO reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 282 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 17% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 9% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 23 had the best headwind 53% of the time, runway 05 48%, and winds were calm 36% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north-northeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 40 days a year, and fog or mist on 147. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 10% of hours, against 4% in April.
Snow fell on about 5 days a year. From December to February KEHO was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 6% from June to August.
