KGMU by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KGMU reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 279 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 17% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 01 had the best headwind 29% of the time, runway 28 29%, and winds were calm 22% of hours. Winds most often blow from the northeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 52 days a year. 65% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 27 days a year, and fog or mist on 115. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 14% of hours, against 3% in June.
Field elevation is 1,048 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,979 ft, 1,931 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
