KIGM by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KIGM reported VFR in 99% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 352 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 1% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft under 1% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles under 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 17 had the best headwind 35% of the time, runway 21 33%, and winds were calm 16% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 26 days a year. 84% of storm hours fall in July, August and September, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 3,449 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 6,610 ft, 3,161 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 17% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 67 kt. June is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and December the calmest.

“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.
