KEHR by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KEHR reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 265 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 10% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 5% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 27 had the best headwind 61% of the time, runway 09 39%, and winds were calm 21% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 2% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 51 days a year. 52% of storm hours fall in May, June and July, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Snow fell on about 8 days a year. From December to February KEHR was IFR or worse 10% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Field elevation is 386 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,085 ft, 1,699 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 11% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 51 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 8 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 calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind 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 |

“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.
