KPWT by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KPWT reported VFR in 67% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 200 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 35% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 17% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 20 had the best headwind 62% of the time, runway 02 38%, and winds were calm 32% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 0% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 36 days a year, and fog or mist on 93. November and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 9% of hours, against 2% in July.
Gusts showed up in 10% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 45 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and August the calmest.
Sources: hourly observations 2006 to 2025 and the per-runway wind climatology 2006 to 2025. Historical summaries, not a forecast: check the current METAR, TAF and a briefing before flight.

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.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“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.
