KMAF 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 MAF in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from MAF's own airspace.
KMAF reported VFR in 90% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 321 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 8% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 3% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the south-facing ends (16L, 16R) had the best headwind 39% of the time, runway 10 16%, and winds were calm 7% 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 34 days a year. 51% of storm hours fall in May, June and August, peaking in August when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
MAF departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 84% of the time across 9,539 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (91%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (74%).
Fog was reported on about 15 days a year, and fog or mist on 63. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 7% of hours, against 1% in June.

“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.
