KORH 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 ORH in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from ORH's own airspace.
KORH reported VFR in 75% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 247 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 20% 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 29 had the best headwind 50% of the time, runway 33 24%, and winds were calm 6% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 46 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 11. From December to February KORH was IFR or worse 18% of the time, against 15% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 82 days a year, and fog or mist on 151. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 16% of hours, against 9% in August.
Gusts showed up in 22% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 134 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and August the calmest.

“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.
