KRMN by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KRMN reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 289 flyable days a year. November is the most reliable month and September 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 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 33 had the best headwind 57% of the time, runway 15 43%, and winds were calm 42% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north-northwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 51 days a year. 58% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Snow fell on about 15 days a year. From December to February KRMN was IFR or worse 11% of the time, against 7% from June to August.
Field elevation is 219 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,864 ft, 1,645 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 11% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 52 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and July the calmest.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | 6,000 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 33 | 6,000 ft | ASP | - | - |

“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.
