KHVR by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KHVR reported VFR in 89% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 298 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 8% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 2% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 21 had the best headwind 36% of the time, runway 26 31%, and winds were calm 13% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 55 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 2. From December to February KHVR was IFR or worse 8% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 24 days a year. 80% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 2,591 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 4,614 ft, 2,023 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 13% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 69 kt. January is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and August the calmest.
