Current pilot readout for KMLE
KMLE is currently VFR with calm winds, visibility 10+ statute miles, and a 6,000 ft ceiling. Density altitude is approximately 950 ft (field elevation 1,051 ft). KMLE does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KOFF, about 10 nm away.
KMLE by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KMLE reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 275 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 13% 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 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 12 had the best headwind 53% of the time, runway 30 47%, and winds were calm 26% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 34 days a year. From December to February KMLE was IFR or worse 11% of the time, against 3% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 67 days a year. 51% of storm hours fall in May, June and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Field elevation is 1,051 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,883 ft, 1,832 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 20% 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 July the calmest.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
