KFAM by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KFAM reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 260 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 16% 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 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 20 had the best headwind 58% of the time, runway 02 42%, and winds were calm 24% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 56 days a year. 50% of storm hours fall in May, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Snow fell on about 10 days a year. From December to February KFAM was IFR or worse 14% of the time, against 5% from June to August.
Field elevation is 946 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,696 ft, 1,750 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 14% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 57 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and September 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.
