KGGG by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for GGG in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from GGG's own airspace.
KGGG reported VFR in 78% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 266 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 16% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 40% of the time, runway 13 28%, 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 53 days a year. 42% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in May when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 20 days a year, and fog or mist on 119. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 10% of hours, against 2% in July.
Field elevation is 365 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,549 ft, 2,184 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.

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.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

| 18 | 6,110 ft | ASPH-G | - | - |
| 31 | 10,000 ft | ASP | - | - |

“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.
