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	020° 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	7,500 ft BKN	Lowest BKN layer, 7,500 ft above the field.
Sky	Broken at 7,500 ft AGL	—
Temperature	-2°C (28°F)	—
Dewpoint	-6°C (22°F)	—
Temp/dewpoint spread	3°C	The margin before the air reaches saturation.
Altimeter	29.08 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 PARS?

The 5 Nov 2026 0456Z observation at Russian Mission reads: METAR PARS 050456Z AUTO 02003KT 10SM BKN075 M02/M06 A2908 RMK AO2 SLP851 T10221056 FZRANO $ Remarks: Routine station data: sea level pressure 985.1 hPa, temperature -2.2°C, dew point -5.6°C.

Is PARS VFR right now?

Russian Mission is reporting VFR. Visual flight rules — ceiling above 3,000 ft and visibility greater than 5 SM.

How often is the PARS 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.
