KMCX by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KMCX reported VFR in 76% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 241 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 18% 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 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 56% of the time, runway 36 44%, and winds were calm 21% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 2% of hours.
Snow fell on about 42 days a year. From December to February KMCX was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 5% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 23 days a year, and fog or mist on 103. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 8% of hours, against 2% in April.
Gusts showed up in 18% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 50 kt. March 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | 5,001 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 36 | 5,001 ft | ASP | - | - |

“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.
