Runways at KDMN
According to OurAirports data (compiled from AIP and FAA sources), Deming Municipal Airport has 2 runways: 04/22 - 1,730 m long (5,675 ft), 18 m wide, asphalt surface; 08/26 - 2,444 m long (8,018 ft), 23 m wide, asphalt surface.
The longest of them is 08/26, at 2,444 m.
Runway headings and wind
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 04/22 on 40° and 220° magnetic, 08/26 on 80° and 260° 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 04/22 axis, wind from the south-east (around 130°) or from the north-west (around 310°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 40° or 220° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
METAR and TAF for KDMN
Weather reports for Deming Municipal Airport are published under the ICAO code KDMN. 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 KDMN 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 KDMN, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The America/Denver zone is GMT-07:00 in winter and GMT-06:00 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 Grant County Airport (Silver City) (KSVC, 58 km), Las Cruces International Airport (KLRU, 75 km), Lordsburg Municipal Airport (KLSB, 92 km). When no report is available for KDMN, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
