KVRB by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for VRB in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from VRB's own airspace.
KVRB reported VFR in 90% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 286 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 7% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 2% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 2%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, the east-facing ends (12L, 12R) had the best headwind 37% of the time, runway 04 23%, and winds were calm 15% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 75 days a year. 62% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 4% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 40 days a year, and fog or mist on 155. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 9% of hours, against 3% in July.
Field elevation is 24 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,743 ft, 1,719 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
