KVQQ by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KVQQ reported VFR in 79% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 240 flyable days a year. April is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 19% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 7% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 6%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the north-facing ends (36L, 36R) had the best headwind 30% of the time, the west-facing ends (27L, 27R) 25%, and winds were calm 43% of hours. Winds most often blow from the north. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 94 days a year, and fog or mist on 253. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 17% of hours, against 11% in April.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 47 days a year. 62% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in August when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 79 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,954 ft, 1,875 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 33% of the time and averaged 4.7 kt overall. March is the windiest month (mean 6 kt) and July the calmest.

“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.
