KMVN by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KMVN reported VFR in 79% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 257 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 13% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 6% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 23 had the best headwind 37% of the time, runway 05 27%, and winds were calm 34% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 52 days a year. 50% of storm hours fall in May, June and July, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Snow fell on about 10 days a year. From December to February KMVN was IFR or worse 12% of the time, against 7% from June to August.
Field elevation is 480 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,226 ft, 1,746 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 29% of the time and averaged 4.8 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and September 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.

“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.
