KEWN by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for EWN in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from EWN's own airspace.
KEWN reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 275 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and October 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 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 22 had the best headwind 38% of the time, runway 04 29%, and winds were calm 22% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 48 days a year. 67% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 71 days a year, and fog or mist on 192. November and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 11% of hours, against 6% in April.
Field elevation is 18 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,656 ft, 1,638 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
