KROG by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KROG reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 250 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 15% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 20 had the best headwind 63% of the time, runway 02 37%, and winds were calm 12% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 46 days a year. 44% of storm hours fall in April, May and August, peaking in May when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Snow fell on about 15 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 4. From December to February KROG was IFR or worse 14% of the time, against 3% from June to August.
Field elevation is 1,359 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 3,341 ft, 1,982 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 14% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 53 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 9 kt) and September the calmest.
