KMPO by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KMPO reported VFR in 70% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 214 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 24% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 11% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 9%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 31 had the best headwind 54% of the time, runway 13 19%, and winds were calm 13% 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 65 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 13. From December to February KMPO was IFR or worse 21% of the time, against 14% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 81 days a year, and fog or mist on 177. May and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 17% of hours, against 10% in July.

“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.
