KMLT by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KMLT reported VFR in 75% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 239 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 18% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 10% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 7%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 34 had the best headwind 39% of the time, runway 29 31%, and winds were calm 46% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west-northwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 68 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 10. From December to February KMLT was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 12% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 51 days a year, and fog or mist on 173. November and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 16% of hours, against 9% in May.
Gusts showed up in 18% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 50 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and August 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 |

| 11 | 4,713 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 16 | 4,000 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 29 | 4,713 ft | ASP | - | - |

“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.
