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 MHT in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from MHT's own airspace.
KMHT reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 271 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 16% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 8% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 35 had the best headwind 40% of the time, runway 24 25%, and winds were calm 24% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
