KPMV by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KPMV reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 276 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 15% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 16 had the best headwind 56% of the time, runway 34 44%, and winds were calm 9% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 34 days a year. From December to February KPMV was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 3% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 66 days a year. 51% of storm hours fall in May, June and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Field elevation is 1,204 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,992 ft, 1,788 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 23% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 54 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and August the calmest.
