KSCK 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 SCK in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from SCK's own airspace.
KSCK reported VFR in 90% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 299 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 20% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually fog and low visibility rather than low ceilings (visibility under 3 miles 4% of hours, ceilings under 1,000 ft 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the northwest-facing ends (29L, 29R) had the best headwind 78% of the time, the southeast-facing ends (11L, 11R) 22%, and winds were calm 20% 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 33 days a year, and fog or mist on 109. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 35% of hours, against 0% in July.
Field elevation is 33 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,182 ft, 2,149 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.

“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.
