KLHM by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KLHM reported VFR in 92% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 313 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 16% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 3% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 15 had the best headwind 70% of the time, runway 33 31%, and winds were calm 23% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Seasonal hazards are rare at KLHM: thunderstorms on about 0 days a year, fog on 0 and snow on 0. Wind is the main variable, with gusts in 6% of hours.
Field elevation is 121 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,364 ft, 2,243 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 22% of the time and averaged 5.2 kt overall. May is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and November the calmest.
