Phoenix Deer Valley Airport is an airport with the ICAO code KDVT and the IATA code DVT. Country: United States. Nearest settlement listed in the database: Phoenix. OurAirports classifies it as a small airport. Its ICAO code starts with the KD prefix, which marks airports in United States. The four-letter code KDVT is used in flight operations and weather reports, while the three-letter IATA code DVT is used for ticketing and baggage handling. The airport reference point sits at 33°41'18"N, 112°04'59"W, at an elevation of 1,478 ft (450 m) above sea level. The applicable time zone is America/Phoenix.

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 KDVT for 2023-2025 show - counted hour by hour.
We computed these statistics from 25,674 METAR reports issued by KDVT in 2023-2025. VFR conditions prevailed 99% of the time, MVFR 1% and IFR or LIFR <1%. Best month for VFR flying: May (100% of hours VFR). Most IFR and LIFR hours: January (<1%).
IFR and LIFR conditions are rare here at any time of day.
Fog practically did not occur here. Thunderstorms (TS) occurred on 10 days a year on average, and snowfall practically never.
The wind most often blows from NE (45°) - 10% of reports. Calm (0 kt) made up 22% of reports, and gusts of 25 kt or more appeared in 1%. Warmest month: July (average high 42.2 °C); coldest: January (average low 5.5 °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: NE - 10% 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.

Temperatures are averages of daily highs and lows. Day counts are the average per month over the period.
According to OurAirports data (compiled from AIP and FAA sources), Phoenix Deer Valley Airport has 2 runways: 07L/25R - 1,372 m long (4,500 ft), 23 m wide, asphalt surface; 07R/25L - 2,498 m long (8,196 ft), 30 m wide, asphalt surface.
The longest of them is 07R/25L, at 2,498 m.
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 07L/25R on 70° and 250° magnetic, 07R/25L on 70° and 250° 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 07L/25R axis, wind from the south (around 160°) or from the north (around 340°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 70° or 250° 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 Phoenix Deer Valley Airport are published under the ICAO code KDVT. 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 KDVT 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 KDVT, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The America/Phoenix zone stays at GMT-07:00 year-round, so converting to local time is always the same shift.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Scottsdale Airport (KSDL, 18 km), Glendale Municipal Airport (KGEU, 27 km), Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX, 29 km). When no report is available for KDVT, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
