KGEY by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KGEY reported VFR in 94% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 324 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 6% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually fog and low visibility rather than low ceilings (visibility under 3 miles 2% of hours, ceilings under 1,000 ft 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 34 had the best headwind 33% of the time, runway 16 29%, and winds were calm 29% of hours. Winds most often blow from the northwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 36 days a year. From December to February KGEY was IFR or worse 5% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 26 days a year. 77% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 3,942 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 6,601 ft, 2,659 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 23% of the time and averaged 5.8 kt overall. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and January the calmest.
