KFRG by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 1 ground stop and 0 ground delay programs for FRG between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 1 day. The reason was thunderstorms. The ground stop lasted about 2 h 8 min.
KFRG reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 266 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and May the least, with IFR or worse 17% 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 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 19 had the best headwind 31% of the time, runway 32 31%, and winds were calm 12% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 18 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 3. From December to February KFRG was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 8% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 26 days a year. 70% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Gusts showed up in 19% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 72 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.
