KFXE by the numbers

What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.

94%

of daylight hours VFR, 2006 to 2025

KFXE reported VFR in 94% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 305 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 3% 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%).

38%

of windy hours favor runway 09

Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 09 had the best headwind 38% of the time, runway 13 31%, and winds were calm 16% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.

thunderstorm days a year

Thunderstorms were reported on about 81 days a year. 60% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 6% of the time.

1,808 ft

typical summer-afternoon density altitude

Field elevation is 13 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,808 ft, 1,795 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.

13%

of hours with gusts

Gusts showed up in 13% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 73 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and September the calmest.
