KOXV by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KOXV reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 256 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 17% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 7% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 15 had the best headwind 54% of the time, runway 33 46%, and winds were calm 10% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 37 days a year. From December to February KOXV was IFR or worse 15% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 23 days a year, and fog or mist on 86. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 8% of hours, against 2% in June.
Field elevation is 928 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,599 ft, 1,671 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 21% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 80 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and August the calmest.
