KEQY by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KEQY reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 278 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December 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 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 23 had the best headwind 56% of the time, runway 05 44%, and winds were calm 32% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 48 days a year. 68% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 41 days a year, and fog or mist on 158. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 13% of hours, against 6% in April.
Field elevation is 682 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,555 ft, 1,873 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 23% of the time and averaged 5.0 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and August the calmest.
