Current pilot readout for KERV
KERV is currently VFR with winds from 150° at 5 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and a 8,000 ft ceiling. the wind favors southeast-facing runway ends (12).

KERV by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KERV reported VFR in 75% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 271 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 19% 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 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 12 had the best headwind 58% of the time, runway 30 16%, and winds were calm 24% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 51 days a year. 48% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in May when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 21 days a year, and fog or mist on 109. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 10% of hours, against 1% in August.
Field elevation is 1,617 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 4,076 ft, 2,459 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 18% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 48 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and September the calmest.
