PHNY by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
PHNY reported VFR in 71% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 116 flyable days a year. November is the most reliable month and July the least, with IFR or worse 2% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 3% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 03 had the best headwind 80% of the time, runway 21 20%, and winds were calm 15% of hours. Winds most often blow from the northeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Fog was reported on about 17 days a year, and fog or mist on 69. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 4% of hours, against 1% in July.
Gusts showed up in 12% of hours, typically 7 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 61 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 10 kt) and October the calmest.
