KMLB 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 MLB in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from MLB's own airspace.
KMLB reported VFR in 88% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 279 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 6% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 2% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the east-facing ends (09L, 09R) had the best headwind 36% of the time, runway 23 22%, and winds were calm 10% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 77 days a year. 62% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 4% of the time.
MLB departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 83% of the time across 2,887 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (94%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (73%).
Fog was reported on about 29 days a year, and fog or mist on 124. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 7% of hours, against 2% in August.
