KPOU by the numbers

What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.

81%

of daylight hours VFR, 2006 to 2025

KPOU reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 278 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 13% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 4% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 5%).

31%

of windy hours favor 24, 25

Over 20 years of hourly winds, the southwest-facing ends (24, 25) had the best headwind 31% of the time, runway 33 30%, and winds were calm 43% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.

snow days a year

Snow fell on about 29 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 4. From December to February KPOU was IFR or worse 12% of the time, against 4% from June to August.

fog days a year

Fog was reported on about 43 days a year, and fog or mist on 166. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 17% of hours, against 7% in August.

10%

of hours with gusts

Gusts showed up in 10% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 69 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and September 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.
