KLVJ by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KLVJ reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 254 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 21% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 14 had the best headwind 67% of the time, runway 32 33%, and winds were calm 26% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 71 days a year. 46% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 39 days a year, and fog or mist on 166. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 17% of hours, against 2% in August.
Field elevation is 44 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,084 ft, 2,040 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 13% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 57 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and August the calmest.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
