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	200° at 6 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	25,000 ft BKN	Lowest BKN layer, 25,000 ft above the field.
Sky	Few at 10,000 ft AGL, Broken at 25,000 ft AGL	—
Temperature	14°C (58°F)	—
Dewpoint	12°C (53°F)	—
Temp/dewpoint spread	3°C	The margin before the air reaches saturation.
Altimeter	29.93 inHg	Set this in the Kollsman window; it is the field’s current sea level pressure setting.
