Decoding wind, visibility, and sky in a METAR.

  • Wind — 01011KT → wind is FROM 010° true at 11 knots. Note wind direction in METARs is true, but spoken ATIS/ATC wind is magnetic.
  • Visibility — 10SM10 statute miles (shown “P6SM” = greater than 6 SM is also common). Part 107 minimum is 3 SM.
  • Sky — OVC110overcast cloud deck with ceiling at 11 000 ft AGL (add two zeros). Other sky codes: CLR (clear below 12 000), FEW, SCT (scattered), BKN (broken), VV (vertical visibility / obscured).
