KGKJ by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KGKJ reported VFR in 70% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 208 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 28% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 10% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 7%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 25 had the best headwind 71% of the time, runway 07 29%, and winds were calm 28% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 74 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 8. From December to February KGKJ was IFR or worse 25% of the time, against 8% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 61 days a year, and fog or mist on 190. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 22% of hours, against 8% in May.

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.

“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.
