KJYR by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KJYR reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 280 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 14% 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 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 17 had the best headwind 37% of the time, runway 35 32%, and winds were calm 12% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 39 days a year. From December to February KJYR was IFR or worse 12% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 65 days a year. 56% of storm hours fall in May, June and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Field elevation is 1,670 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,556 ft, 1,886 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 21% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 59 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 11 kt) and August the calmest.
