KMKG reported VFR in 73% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 219 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 25% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 5% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 7%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 24 had the best headwind 31% of the time, runway 32 28%, and winds were calm 12% 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 70 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 5. From December to February KMKG was IFR or worse 21% of the time, against 5% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 31 days a year. 49% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Gusts showed up in 21% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 66 kt. December is the windiest month (mean 9 kt) and August the calmest.
