KFLO by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 0 ground stops and 2 ground delay programs for FLO between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 2 days. The reason was always equipment outages. A typical delay program ran about 4 h 14 min.
KFLO reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 278 flyable days a year. June 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 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 19 had the best headwind 29% of the time, runway 01 27%, and winds were calm 20% 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 45 days a year. 68% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 50 days a year, and fog or mist on 176. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 13% of hours, against 6% in April.
Field elevation is 147 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,033 ft, 1,886 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.

“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.
