KTYQ by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KTYQ reported VFR in 76% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 248 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 20% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 9% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 18 had the best headwind 56% of the time, runway 36 44%, and winds were calm 18% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 2% of hours.
Snow fell on about 41 days a year. From December to February KTYQ was IFR or worse 19% of the time, against 6% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 62 days a year. 49% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Gusts showed up in 19% of hours, typically 6 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 56 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and August the calmest.
