KWWD by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KWWD reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 262 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and May the least, with IFR or worse 15% 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 28 had the best headwind 32% of the time, runway 19 29%, and winds were calm 15% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 29 days a year. 68% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Fog was reported on about 16 days a year, and fog or mist on 62. February and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 5% of hours, against 2% in August.
Gusts showed up in 23% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 54 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 9 kt) and August the calmest.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.

“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.
