Current pilot readout for KRNM
KRNM is currently LIFR with calm winds, visibility 3/4 statute mile, and a 1,200 ft ceiling. Density altitude is approximately 650 ft (field elevation 1,395 ft). KRNM does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KCRQ, about 19 nm away.
KRNM by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KRNM reported VFR in 84% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 310 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and May the least, with IFR or worse 18% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 6% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 7%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 27 had the best headwind 72% of the time, runway 09 28%, and winds were calm 42% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 105 days a year, and fog or mist on 207. February and May are the foggiest months, with fog in 16% of hours, against 8% in September.
Field elevation is 1,395 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,389 ft, 1,994 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 38% of the time and averaged 4.2 kt overall. July is the windiest month (mean 4 kt) and October 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 09 | 5,001 ft | ASP | - | - |
| 27 | 5,001 ft | ASP | - | - |
