KPVU by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for PVU in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from PVU's own airspace.
KPVU reported VFR in 94% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 300 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 12% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually fog and low visibility rather than low ceilings (visibility under 3 miles 2% of hours, ceilings under 1,000 ft 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 13 had the best headwind 38% of the time, runway 31 32%, and winds were calm 31% of hours. Winds most often blow from the northwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 32 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 0. From December to February KPVU was IFR or worse 8% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
PVU departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 85% of the time across 2,722 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (91%) and 3 to 6 PM did worst (75%).
Thunderstorms were reported on about 25 days a year. 62% of storm hours fall in May, August and September, peaking in August when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
