Concord Municipal Airport is an airport with the ICAO code KCON and the IATA code CON. Country: United States. Nearest settlement listed in the database: Concord. OurAirports classifies it as a medium-sized airport. Its ICAO code starts with the KC prefix, which marks airports in United States. The four-letter code KCON is used in flight operations and weather reports, while the three-letter IATA code CON is used for ticketing and baggage handling. The airport reference point sits at 43°12'10"N, 71°30'08"W, at an elevation of 342 ft (104 m) above sea level. The applicable time zone is America/New_York.

The course is derived from the runway designator (number × 10), not from a survey - the actual magnetic bearing can differ by a few degrees.
Declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, LDA) are published in the national AIP - they are not part of this table.
What the METAR reports from KCON for 2023-2025 show - counted hour by hour.
We computed these statistics from 26,043 METAR reports issued by KCON in 2023-2025. VFR conditions prevailed 79% of the time, MVFR 11% and IFR or LIFR 11%. Best month for VFR flying: November (86% of hours VFR). Most IFR and LIFR hours: December (17%).
Through the day, IFR or LIFR conditions are most frequent around 10:00 UTC (18% of reports at that hour) and least frequent around 21:00 UTC (6%).
Fog (FG) was reported on 44 days a year on average, most often in December. Thunderstorms (TS) occurred on 8.7 days a year on average, and snowfall on 43.
The wind most often blows from NW (315°) - 11% of reports. Calm (0 kt) made up 31% of reports, and gusts of 25 kt or more appeared in 4%. Warmest month: July (average high 29.6 °C); coldest: February (average low -7.7 °C).
Day counts are for the selected period (for all years - the yearly average).
The top of each bar is the average daily high, the bottom the average daily low (usually around dawn), in °C.
Most often: NW - 11% of reports. Each petal shows the direction the wind blows from (as in METAR) - the longer it is, the more often. Colour shows wind speed.

According to OurAirports data (compiled from AIP and FAA sources), Concord Municipal Airport has 2 runways: 12/30 - 975 m long (3,200 ft), 23 m wide, asphalt surface; 17/35 - 1,830 m long (6,005 ft), 30 m wide, asphalt surface.
The longest of them is 17/35, at 1,830 m.
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 12/30 on 120° and 300° magnetic, 17/35 on 170° and 350° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.
For the 12/30 axis, wind from the south-west (around 210°) or from the north-east (around 30°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 120° or 300° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
Weather reports for Concord Municipal Airport are published under the ICAO code KCON. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.
The decoder breaks the KCON report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.
Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for KCON, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The America/New_York zone is GMT-05:00 in winter and GMT-04:00 in summer - that is the shift to apply to the time in the report to get local time at the airport.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (KMHT, 31 km), Laconia Municipal Airport (Laconia / Gilford) (KLCI, 42 km), Nashua Airport / Boire Field (KASH, 47 km). When no report is available for KCON, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
