KHYA by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for HYA in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from HYA's own airspace.
KHYA reported VFR in 73% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 234 flyable days a year. November is the most reliable month and May the least, with IFR or worse 24% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 14% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 7%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 24 had the best headwind 41% of the time, runway 33 27%, and winds were calm 15% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. 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 1. From December to February KHYA was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 20% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 53 days a year, and fog or mist on 168. February and May are the foggiest months, with fog in 17% of hours, against 9% in August.
Gusts showed up in 25% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 57 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 9 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.
