KMGG by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KMGG reported VFR in 79% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 260 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 19% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 7% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 28 had the best headwind 53% of the time, runway 10 47%, and winds were calm 25% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 56 days a year. From December to February KMGG was IFR or worse 14% of the time, against 5% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 51 days a year. 57% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Gusts showed up in 17% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 50 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and August the calmest.
