What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KWRL reported VFR in 93% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 326 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 5% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually fog and low visibility rather than low ceilings (visibility under 3 miles 2% of hours, ceilings under 1,000 ft 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 16 had the best headwind 27% of the time, runway 34 22%, and winds were calm 28% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 0% of hours.
Snow fell on about 43 days a year. From December to February KWRL was IFR or worse 5% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 26 days a year. 73% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Field elevation is 4,252 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 6,873 ft, 2,621 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Winds were calm 22% of the time and averaged 5.1 kt overall. April is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and January the calmest.
