What it says

Field	Value	What that means
Flight category	VFR	Visual flight rules — ceiling above 3,000 ft and visibility greater than 5 SM.
Wind	250° at 3 kt	Direction is degrees true, as reported.
Visibility	10+ SM	10 SM is the maximum an automated US station reports; it means 10 or greater.
Ceiling	Unlimited	No broken, overcast or obscured layer reported.

Temperature	4°C (40°F)	—
Dewpoint	2°C (36°F)	—
Temp/dewpoint spread	2°C	A spread of 2°C or less favours fog or low stratus forming.
Altimeter	30.05 inHg	Set this in the Kollsman window; it is the field’s current sea level pressure setting.
