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 | 340° at 7 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 | 4,000 ft BKN | Lowest BKN layer, 4,000 ft above the field. |

| Dewpoint | 5°C (41°F) | — |
| Temp/dewpoint spread | 1°C | A spread of 2°C or less favours fog or low stratus forming. |
| Altimeter | 29.18 inHg | Set this in the Kollsman window; it is the field’s current sea level pressure setting. |
