KRXE by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KRXE reported VFR in 86% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 276 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 22% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 5% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 17 had the best headwind 58% of the time, runway 35 43%, and winds were calm 22% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 65 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 2. From December to February KRXE was IFR or worse 19% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 27 days a year. 62% of storm hours fall in May, June and August, peaking in August when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 4,862 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 7,312 ft, 2,450 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 14% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 55 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and January the calmest.
