What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KPBH reported VFR in 71% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 228 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 25% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 10% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 19 had the best headwind 32% of the time, runway 24 29%, and winds were calm 29% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 90 days a year. From December to February KPBH was IFR or worse 18% of the time, against 9% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 44 days a year. 58% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Gusts showed up in 15% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 50 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and August the calmest.
