KPIE by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 2 ground stops and 0 ground delay programs for PIE between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 2 days. The reason was always thunderstorms. A typical ground stop lasted about 56 min.
KPIE reported VFR in 90% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 299 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 10% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 3% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 04 had the best headwind 36% of the time, runway 36 24%, and winds were calm 11% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 91 days a year. 71% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 6% of the time.
PIE departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 78% of the time across 9,137 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (95%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (56%).
Fog was reported on about 29 days a year, and fog or mist on 111. January and February are the foggiest months, with fog in 8% of hours, against 1% in October.
