KJWY by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KJWY reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 274 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 15% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 63% of the time, runway 36 37%, and winds were calm 18% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 20 days a year, and fog or mist on 115. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 11% of hours, against 2% in July.
Snow fell on about 5 days a year. From December to February KJWY was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 3% from June to August.
Field elevation is 727 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,039 ft, 2,312 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 19% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 51 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and September 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.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“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.
