How to read this
A METAR is the current observed weather at an aerodrome; a TAF is its terminal forecast. The flight category, VFR MVFR IFR LIFR, is derived from ceiling and visibility, and is a quick go / no-go cue for VFR flying. Always obtain an official pre-flight briefing; this page is for situational awareness only and must not be used for operational decisions.
