KEXX by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KEXX reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 287 flyable days a year. April is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 14% 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 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 24 had the best headwind 58% of the time, runway 06 42%, and winds were calm 55% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 25 days a year, and fog or mist on 169. August and September are the foggiest months, with fog in 12% of hours, against 5% in April.
Snow fell on about 7 days a year. From December to February KEXX was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 7% from June to August.
Field elevation is 732 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,445 ft, 1,713 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 54% of the time and averaged 2.4 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 3 kt) and August the calmest.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“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.
