KLIC by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KLIC reported VFR in 89% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 301 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 12% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 5% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 34 had the best headwind 58% of the time, runway 16 42%, and winds were calm 15% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 43 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 3. From December to February KLIC was IFR or worse 9% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 49 days a year. 73% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 5,374 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 8,008 ft, 2,634 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 19% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 67 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and January the calmest.
