What it says

Field	Value	What that means
Flight category	IFR	Instrument flight rules — ceiling 500 to 999 ft and/or visibility 1 to less than 3 SM.
Wind	050° at 5 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	600 ft OVC	Lowest OVC layer, 600 ft above the field.
Sky	Overcast at 600 ft AGL	—
Temperature	1°C (33°F)	—
Dewpoint	-1°C (31°F)	—
Temp/dewpoint spread	1°C	A spread of 2°C or less favours fog or low stratus forming.
Altimeter	30.15 inHg	Set this in the Kollsman window; it is the field’s current sea level pressure setting.
