KSLR by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KSLR reported VFR in 79% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 270 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February 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 7% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 19 had the best headwind 63% of the time, runway 01 37%, and winds were calm 16% 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 70 days a year. 40% of storm hours fall in April, May and June, peaking in May when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 17 days a year, and fog or mist on 95. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 10% of hours, against 2% in July.
Field elevation is 489 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,692 ft, 2,203 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 16% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 53 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and September the calmest.
Sources: hourly observations 2006 to 2025 and the per-runway wind climatology 2006 to 2025. Historical summaries, not a forecast: check the current METAR, TAF and a briefing before flight.

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 |

“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.
