Density Altitude at Rhome Meadows (T76)

Rhome Meadows sits at 900 ft, and even a typical July afternoon (95 °F) only lifts density altitude to about 3,410 ft — heat still trims performance, but the field rarely turns high-and-hot.

Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at T76 in summer?

On a typical July afternoon — around 95 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Rhome Meadows reaches roughly 3,410 ft at standard pressure. Hotter-than-normal days, low pressure, and humidity all push it higher, so run the day's actual numbers before flying.

What is the density altitude at T76 on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly 178 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about 2,759 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 900 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Rhome Meadows?

900 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is T76 (FAA), in Rhome, Texas.
