KHZX by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KHZX reported VFR in 75% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 242 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 23% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 9% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 14 had the best headwind 51% of the time, runway 32 50%, and winds were calm 21% of hours. Winds most often blow from the northwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 42 days a year. 62% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Snow fell on about 14 days a year. From December to February KHZX was IFR or worse 16% of the time, against 7% from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 17% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 47 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and August the calmest.
