KFOK by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KFOK reported VFR in 76% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 254 flyable days a year. November is the most reliable month and May 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 11% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 7%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 24 had the best headwind 27% of the time, runway 33 25%, and winds were calm 20% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 66 days a year, and fog or mist on 178. May and June are the foggiest months, with fog in 16% of hours, against 9% in August.
Snow fell on about 18 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 2. From December to February KFOK was IFR or worse 14% of the time, against 15% from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 23% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 60 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 9 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.

“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.
