Current pilot readout for KGCM
KGCM is currently VFR with winds from 200° at 10 knots gusting 16, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. the wind favors south-facing runway ends (18). Density altitude is approximately 1,450 ft (field elevation 733 ft). KGCM does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KTUL, about 21 nm away.
KGCM by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KGCM reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 273 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 12% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 5% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 61% of the time, runway 36 39%, and winds were calm 19% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 52 days a year. 45% of storm hours fall in April, May and August, peaking in May when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Snow fell on about 10 days a year. From December to February KGCM was IFR or worse 11% of the time, against 3% from June to August.
Field elevation is 733 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,730 ft, 1,997 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 20% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 55 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and July the calmest.
