The tower TFDM states arrivals on runway 24R and 25L and departures on runway 25R, 24R, 25L and 24L; crosswind on the active runways is approximately 4 kt; the wind favors east-facing runway ends (06L, 06R, 07L, 07R). Density altitude is approximately -0 ft (field elevation 128 ft). Review the latest TAF below for forecast changes before departure.
KLAX by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 10 ground stops and 4 ground delay programs for LAX between November 2025 and November 2026, affecting 13 days. Controller staffing was the most common reason (7 of 14). A typical ground stop lasted about 1 h 1 min.
KLAX reported VFR in 76% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 275 flyable days a year. January is the most reliable month and June 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, the west-facing ends (24L, 24R, 25L, 25R) had the best headwind 72% of the time, the east-facing ends (06L, 06R, 07L, 07R) 28%, and winds were calm 20% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 65 days a year, and fog or mist on 138. November and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 11% of hours, against 6% in May.
LAX departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 80% of the time across 189,670 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (90%) and noon to 3 PM did worst (75%).
Over the last 30 days of recorded D-ATIS broadcasts, KLAX ran west flow 93% of the time and east flow 7%. Runway 25L was named for arrivals most often (89% of recorded hours), and the configuration changed 83 times.
