KPRB by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KPRB reported VFR in 88% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 317 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December 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 5% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 31 had the best headwind 42% of the time, runway 19 30%, and winds were calm 34% of hours. Winds most often blow from the northwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 45 days a year, and fog or mist on 110. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 13% of hours, against 1% in June.
Field elevation is 838 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,004 ft, 2,166 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 29% of the time and averaged 5.3 kt overall. June is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and November the calmest.
