KFFX by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KFFX reported VFR in 71% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 214 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 21% 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 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 28 had the best headwind 30% of the time, runway 10 25%, and winds were calm 21% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 79 days a year. From December to February KFFX was IFR or worse 19% of the time, against 7% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 39 days a year, and fog or mist on 130. August and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 9% of hours, against 3% in April.
