KVDI by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KVDI reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 280 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 16% 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 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 25 had the best headwind 31% of the time, runway 07 27%, and winds were calm 28% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 64 days a year. 60% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 3% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 28 days a year, and fog or mist on 84. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 6% of hours, against 2% in June.
Field elevation is 274 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 2,245 ft, 1,971 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 27% of the time and averaged 4.2 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 5 kt) and July the calmest.
