KTKV by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KTKV reported VFR in 70% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 225 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 26% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 11% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 7%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 27 had the best headwind 62% of the time, runway 09 38%, and winds were calm 45% 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 65 days a year. From December to February KTKV was IFR or worse 19% of the time, against 11% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 33 days a year, and fog or mist on 124. September and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 9% of hours, against 3% in April.
Gusts showed up in 11% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 41 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and August the calmest.
