KMYR by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for MYR in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from MYR's own airspace.
KMYR reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 249 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 12% 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 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 53% of the time, runway 36 47%, and winds were calm 13% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 44 days a year. 66% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
MYR departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 78% of the time across 14,021 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (91%) and after 9 PM did worst (63%).
