KGWW by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KGWW reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 280 flyable days a year. April is the most reliable month and September the least, with IFR or worse 12% 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 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 23 had the best headwind 58% of the time, runway 05 42%, and winds were calm 34% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 29 days a year, and fog or mist on 135. August and September are the foggiest months, with fog in 11% of hours, against 3% in April.
Field elevation is 134 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,894 ft, 1,760 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 12% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 53 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and August the calmest.
