KHHF by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KHHF reported VFR in 89% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 316 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 7% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 4% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 40% of the time, runway 22 23%, and winds were calm 22% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 62 days a year. 51% of storm hours fall in May, June and August, peaking in August when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Snow fell on about 14 days a year. From December to February KHHF was IFR or worse 7% of the time, against 2% from June to August.
Field elevation is 2,396 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 5,034 ft, 2,638 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 30% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 54 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and January the calmest.
