Current pilot readout for KTME
KTME is currently VFR with calm winds, visibility 10+ statute miles, and no ceiling reported. Density altitude is approximately 500 ft (field elevation 166 ft). KTME does not publish a TAF. The nearest TAF station is KSGR, about 17 nm away.
KTME by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KTME reported VFR in 77% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 253 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 18% 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 18 had the best headwind 63% of the time, runway 36 37%, and winds were calm 26% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 47 days a year, and fog or mist on 226. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 19% of hours, against 8% in August.
Field elevation is 166 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,337 ft, 2,171 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 12% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 56 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and September the calmest.
Sources: hourly observations 2006 to 2025 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.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | 6,610 ft | ASPH-G | - | - |
| 36 | 6,610 ft | ASPH-G | - | - |

“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.
