KVGT by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KVGT reported VFR in 99% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 360 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse under 1% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft under 1% of hours, visibility under 3 miles under 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the northwest-facing ends (30L, 30R) had the best headwind 38% of the time, the southeast-facing ends (12L, 12R) 26%, and winds were calm 20% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north-northwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 10 days a year. 73% of storm hours fall in July, August and September, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 2,205 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 5,675 ft, 3,470 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 63 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 8 kt) and December the calmest.
