KGPT 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 GPT in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from GPT's own airspace.
KGPT reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 263 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 19% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 36 had the best headwind 31% of the time, runway 14 28%, and winds were calm 26% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 69 days a year. 55% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in August when storms were in the air 4% of the time.
GPT departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 85% of the time across 3,120 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (92%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (76%).
Fog was reported on about 44 days a year, and fog or mist on 160. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 17% of hours, against 4% in June.

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.
