PASC 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 SCC in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from SCC's own airspace.
PASC reported VFR in 45% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 109 flyable days a year. March is the most reliable month and May the least, with IFR or worse 48% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 21% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 18%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 06 had the best headwind 57% of the time, runway 24 43%, and winds were calm 5% of hours. Winds most often blow from the east. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 186 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 8. From December to February PASC was IFR or worse 26% of the time, against 36% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 97 days a year, and fog or mist on 278. April and May are the foggiest months, with fog in 34% of hours, against 19% in July.
