KLHB by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KLHB reported VFR in 76% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 259 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February 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 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 65% of the time, runway 36 35%, and winds were calm 28% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 61 days a year. 43% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in May when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 23 days a year, and fog or mist on 129. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 10% of hours, against 3% in August.
Field elevation is 285 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,567 ft, 2,282 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 15% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind. March is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and September the calmest.
