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	030° 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	3,700 ft BKN	Lowest BKN layer, 3,700 ft above the field.
Sky	Broken at 3,700 ft AGL, Overcast at 7,500 ft AGL	—
Temperature	-11°C (12°F)	—
Dewpoint	-12°C (10°F)	—
Temp/dewpoint spread	1°C	A spread of 2°C or less favours fog or low stratus forming.
Altimeter	29.29 inHg	Set this in the Kollsman window; it is the field’s current sea level pressure setting.
