KMTP by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KMTP reported VFR in 69% of daylight observations over 20 years. September is the most reliable month and May the least, with IFR or worse 100% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually fog and low visibility rather than low ceilings (visibility under 3 miles 42% of hours, ceilings under 1,000 ft 0%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 24 had the best headwind 60% of the time, runway 06 40%, and winds were calm 26% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 2% of hours.
Seasonal hazards are rare at KMTP: thunderstorms on about 0 days a year, fog on 0 and snow on 0. Wind is the main variable, with gusts in 27% of hours.
Gusts showed up in 27% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 50 kt. January is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and August the calmest.
Sources: hourly observations 2006 to 2025 and the per-runway wind climatology 2006 to 2025. Historical summaries, not a forecast: check the current METAR, TAF and a briefing before flight.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is variable at 3 kt: light and variable wind like this is generally not a factor for runway selection, and with no steady direction 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 06 | 3,246 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.
