KLVS by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KLVS reported VFR in 94% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 329 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 7% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 2% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 20 had the best headwind 39% of the time, runway 14 24%, and winds were calm 9% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 2% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 66 days a year. 72% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 4% of the time.
Snow fell on about 31 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 2. From December to February KLVS was IFR or worse 6% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
Field elevation is 6,877 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 9,493 ft, 2,616 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 21% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 77 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 12 kt) and August the calmest.
Sources: hourly observations 2006 to 2025 and the per-runway wind climatology 2006 to 2025. Historical summaries, not a forecast: check the current METAR, TAF and a briefing before flight.

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.
