PAJN 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 JNU in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from JNU's own airspace.
PAJN reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 250 flyable days a year. May is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 16% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 3% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 08 had the best headwind 77% of the time, runway 26 23%, and winds were calm 30% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 0% of hours.
Snow fell on about 73 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 4. From December to February PAJN was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 3% from June to August.
JNU departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 84% of the time across 4,708 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (89%) and noon to 3 PM did worst (78%).
Fog was reported on about 85 days a year, and fog or mist on 230. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 28% of hours, against 7% in May.

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.
