KOXB by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KOXB reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 268 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and May the least, with IFR or worse 16% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 20 had the best headwind 32% of the time, runway 32 32%, and winds were calm 18% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 38 days a year, and fog or mist on 152. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 13% of hours, against 7% in July.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 23 days a year. 65% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Gusts showed up in 20% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind. March is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and August 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.
