KEWK by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KEWK reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 280 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 13% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 17 had the best headwind 44% of the time, runway 35 26%, and winds were calm 4% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 51 days a year. 54% of storm hours fall in May, June and July, peaking in June when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Snow fell on about 11 days a year. From December to February KEWK was IFR or worse 12% of the time, against 3% from June to August.
Field elevation is 1,533 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,692 ft, 2,159 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 23% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 62 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 12 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.
