KRDM 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 RDM in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from RDM's own airspace.
KRDM reported VFR in 94% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 326 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 12% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 2% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 29 had the best headwind 42% of the time, runway 11 32%, and winds were calm 25% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 31 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 2. From December to February KRDM was IFR or worse 10% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
RDM departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 84% of the time across 6,649 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (92%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (76%).
Fog was reported on about 19 days a year, and fog or mist on 54. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 8% of hours, against 0% in July.

“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.
