KEMV by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KEMV reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 273 flyable days a year. April is the most reliable month and September the least, with IFR or worse 15% 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 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 16 had the best headwind 50% of the time, runway 34 50%, and winds were calm 43% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 32 days a year. From December to February KEMV was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 9% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 53 days a year. 64% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Field elevation is 127 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,771 ft, 1,644 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 40% of the time and averaged 3.5 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 5 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.
