KTEX by the numbers

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

7
FAA ground stops and delay programs, last 12 months

The FAA issued 2 ground stops and 5 ground delay programs for TEX between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 5 days. Traffic volume was the most common reason (6 of 7). A typical ground stop lasted about 1 h 29 min.

58%
of windy hours favor runway 09

Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 09 had the best headwind 58% of the time, runway 27 42%, and winds were calm 27% of hours.

Sources: FAA ATCSCC advisories 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.

“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.
