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	220° 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	4,300 ft BKN	Lowest BKN layer, 4,300 ft above the field.
Sky	Broken at 4,300 ft AGL, Broken at 5,000 ft AGL, Overcast at 8,000 ft AGL	—
Temperature	17°C (62°F)	—
Dewpoint	16°C (60°F)	—
Temp/dewpoint spread	1°C	A spread of 2°C or less favours fog or low stratus forming.
Altimeter	29.77 inHg	Set this in the Kollsman window; it is the field’s current sea level pressure setting.

Frequently asked

What is the current METAR at KROC?

The 5 Nov 2026 1254Z observation at Frederick Douglass/Greater Rochester International reads: METAR KROC 051254Z 22006KT 10SM -RA BKN043 BKN050 OVC080 17/16 A2977 RMK AO2 SLP082 P0000 T01670156 Remarks: Routine station data: sea level pressure 1008.2 hPa, a trace of precipitation in the past hour, temperature 16.7°C, dew point 15.6°C.

Is KROC VFR right now?

Frederick Douglass/Greater Rochester International is reporting VFR. Visual flight rules — ceiling above 3,000 ft and visibility greater than 5 SM.

How often is the KROC METAR updated?

Routine observations are issued hourly, usually in the 5 minutes before the hour. A SPECI is issued between them whenever conditions change significantly — a ceiling or visibility crossing a category threshold, a wind shift, or the onset of precipitation or a thunderstorm.
