KFMN 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 FMN in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from FMN's own airspace.
KFMN reported VFR in 97% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 343 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 4% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 1% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the east-facing ends (05, 07) had the best headwind 56% of the time, the west-facing ends (23, 25) 44%, and winds were calm 15% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 22 days a year. From December to February KFMN was IFR or worse 4% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 30 days a year. 71% of storm hours fall in July, August and September, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 5,507 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 8,592 ft, 3,085 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
