KPSK by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KPSK reported VFR in 78% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 261 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 11% 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 24 had the best headwind 72% of the time, runway 06 28%, and winds were calm 34% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 2% of hours.
Snow fell on about 42 days a year. From December to February KPSK was IFR or worse 10% of the time, against 7% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 53 days a year. 61% of storm hours fall in May, June and July, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 2,104 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,848 ft, 1,744 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 14% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 57 kt. February is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and August the calmest.

“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.
