KLUM by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KLUM reported VFR in 77% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 252 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 17% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 6% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 27 had the best headwind 36% of the time, runway 09 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.
Snow fell on about 58 days a year. From December to February KLUM was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 5% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 48 days a year. 58% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Gusts showed up in 15% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 50 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and August the calmest.
