Current pilot readout for KLXY
KLXY is currently VFR with winds from 110° at 5 knots, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. the wind favors south-facing runway ends (18). Density altitude is approximately 1,600 ft (field elevation 545 ft). KLXY does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KACT, about 37 nm away.
KLXY by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KLXY reported VFR in 75% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 256 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 20% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 10% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 65% of the time, runway 36 35%, and winds were calm 15% 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 63 days a year. 46% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in April when storms were in the air 4% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 25 days a year, and fog or mist on 83. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 8% of hours, against 1% in August.
Field elevation is 545 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,786 ft, 2,241 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 27% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 45 kt. February is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and September the calmest.
