KFVX by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KFVX reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 280 flyable days a year. April is the most reliable month and September the least, with IFR or worse 14% 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 21 had the best headwind 60% of the time, runway 03 40%, and winds were calm 44% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 47 days a year. 65% 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 47 days a year, and fog or mist on 165. August and September are the foggiest months, with fog in 13% of hours, against 4% in March.
Field elevation is 416 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,192 ft, 1,776 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 42% of the time and averaged 3.2 kt overall. April is the windiest month (mean 4 kt) and August the calmest.

“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.
