KTEW by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KTEW reported VFR in 72% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 230 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 19% 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 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 28 had the best headwind 58% of the time, runway 10 42%, and winds were calm 24% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 73 days a year. From December to February KTEW was IFR or worse 18% of the time, against 6% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 31 days a year, and fog or mist on 143. September and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 10% of hours, against 4% in April.
Gusts showed up in 18% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 47 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and August the calmest.
