KLHZ by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KLHZ reported VFR in 79% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 267 flyable days a year. April is the most reliable month and September the least, with IFR or worse 11% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 9% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 23 had the best headwind 60% of the time, runway 05 40%, and winds were calm 42% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 31 days a year, and fog or mist on 158. August and September are the foggiest months, with fog in 13% of hours, against 3% in April.
Snow fell on about 6 days a year. From December to February KLHZ was IFR or worse 12% of the time, against 7% from June to August.
Field elevation is 368 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,071 ft, 1,703 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 39% of the time and averaged 3.3 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 4 kt) and August the calmest.
