KTQE by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KTQE reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 268 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 13% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 4% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 15 had the best headwind 51% of the time, runway 33 49%, and winds were calm 11% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 31 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 6. From December to February KTQE was IFR or worse 12% of the time, against 4% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 49 days a year. 55% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 1,027 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,858 ft, 1,831 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 14% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 67 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 12 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.
