What it says

Field	Value	What that means
Flight category	MVFR	Marginal VFR — ceiling 1,000 to 3,000 ft and/or visibility 3 to 5 SM.
Wind	250° at 9 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	2,600 ft BKN	Lowest BKN layer, 2,600 ft above the field.
Sky	Few at 2,000 ft AGL, Broken at 2,600 ft AGL, Overcast at 3,200 ft AGL	—
Temperature	15°C (59°F)	—
Dewpoint	13°C (55°F)	—
Temp/dewpoint spread	2°C	A spread of 2°C or less favours fog or low stratus forming.
Altimeter	29.68 inHg	Set this in the Kollsman window; it is the field’s current sea level pressure setting.
