How this ranking is calculated
Estimated days per year with at least one observation reporting fog or mist (visibility-reducing moisture). Airports qualify only with at least 10 complete years of quality-controlled observations across 2006–2025 — 1,400 U.S. airports met the bar for this metric. Full details are on the methodology page, with attribution on the data sources page. This is a summary of past observations, not a forecast or safety rating.
Frequently asked
These questions reflect what pilots search about this ranking.
- How does ATIS Alerts rank the foggiest airports?
- Estimated days per year with at least one observation reporting fog or mist (visibility-reducing moisture). We rank all 1,400 eligible U.S. airports — those with at least 10 complete years of quality-controlled observations across 2006–2025.
- Is this a forecast?
- No. This is a summary of past observed weather, not a prediction of current or future conditions. Always check the current METAR, TAF, and a weather briefing before flight.
- Does a high or low ranking mean an airport is safe or dangerous?
- No. These rankings describe historical weather frequency only. They do not evaluate airport safety, runways, procedures, or operations, and they are not a flight-planning tool.

Educational use only. Historical weather rankings from ATIS Alerts are educational summaries of past observations — not a forecast, flight-planning tool, or safety rating. They do not replace current METARs, TAFs, NOTAMs, ATIS, or a weather briefing, and favorable history does not make any airport safe. Always check current conditions and use your own judgment before flight.
