KHBI by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KHBI reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 283 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 13% 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 21 had the best headwind 60% of the time, runway 03 41%, and winds were calm 44% 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 26 days a year, and fog or mist on 116. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 8% of hours, against 3% in April.
Field elevation is 671 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,391 ft, 1,720 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 43% of the time and averaged 3.3 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and August the calmest.

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.
