KTHV by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KTHV reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 277 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 14% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 6% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 35 had the best headwind 62% of the time, runway 17 38%, and winds were calm 42% 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 24 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 4. From December to February KTHV was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 6% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 35 days a year. 68% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 495 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,034 ft, 1,539 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 11% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 50 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and August the calmest.

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.
