KHPN by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 42 ground stops and 7 ground delay programs for HPN between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 34 days. Traffic volume was the most common reason (11 of 49). A typical ground stop lasted about 1 h 9 min.
KHPN reported VFR in 78% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 264 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and May the least, with IFR or worse 17% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 7% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 9%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 34 had the best headwind 34% of the time, runway 29 31%, and winds were calm 20% of hours. Winds most often blow from the northwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 28 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 5. From December to February KHPN was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 10% from June to August.
HPN departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 78% of the time across 10,555 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (90%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (65%).
Over the last 30 days of recorded D-ATIS broadcasts, KHPN ran northwest flow 72% of the time and southeast flow 26%. Runway 34 was named for arrivals most often (72% of recorded hours), and the configuration changed 61 times.

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.
