KLYH by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for LYH in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from LYH's own airspace.
KLYH reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 287 flyable days a year. November is the most reliable month and September the least, with IFR or worse 12% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 22 had the best headwind 45% of the time, runway 04 26%, and winds were calm 41% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 38 days a year. 67% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 47 days a year, and fog or mist on 159. September and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 12% of hours, against 7% in April.
Field elevation is 938 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,662 ft, 1,724 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
