KOMK by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KOMK reported VFR in 86% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 283 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 27% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 3% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 35 had the best headwind 57% of the time, runway 17 43%, and winds were calm 22% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 34 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 3. From December to February KOMK was IFR or worse 19% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 30 days a year, and fog or mist on 81. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 24% of hours, against 0% in July.
Field elevation is 1,304 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,342 ft, 2,038 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
