KMFE 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 MFE in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from MFE's own airspace.
KMFE reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 289 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 15% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 14 had the best headwind 68% of the time, runway 36 16%, and winds were calm 9% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 25 days a year. 53% of storm hours fall in May, June and September, peaking in May when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
MFE departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 81% of the time across 4,648 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (92%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (63%).
Fog was reported on about 19 days a year, and fog or mist on 125. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 13% of hours, against 1% in August.
