KMGY by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KMGY reported VFR in 77% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 245 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and January 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 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 20 had the best headwind 60% of the time, runway 02 40%, and winds were calm 14% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 35 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 5. From December to February KMGY was IFR or worse 14% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 49 days a year. 57% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 957 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,560 ft, 1,603 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 13% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 57 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and August the calmest.
