KMFD by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KMFD reported VFR in 73% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 224 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 22% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 9% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 23 had the best headwind 42% of the time, runway 14 25%, and winds were calm 9% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 53 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 8. From December to February KMFD was IFR or worse 21% of the time, against 6% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 37 days a year. 57% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 1,297 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,816 ft, 1,519 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 17% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 59 kt. January is the windiest month (mean 9 kt) and August the calmest.
