KSPG by the numbers

What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.

90%

of daylight hours VFR, 2006 to 2025

KSPG reported VFR in 90% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 299 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 8% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 2% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 1%).

36%

of windy hours favor runway 07

Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 07 had the best headwind 36% of the time, runway 36 25%, and winds were calm 9% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.

thunderstorm days a year

Thunderstorms were reported on about 84 days a year. 69% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 5% of the time.

fog days a year

Fog was reported on about 24 days a year, and fog or mist on 90. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 6% of hours, against 1% in May.

1,809 ft

typical summer-afternoon density altitude

Field elevation is 7 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,809 ft, 1,802 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
