• Temperature is shown in degrees Fahrenheit.
• Dewpoint is shown in degrees Fahrenheit.
• Altimeter Setting is shown in inches of mercury.
TIP
The simple conversion formulas from Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F), and for
the conversion of F back to C are as follows:
• F = 1.8*C + 32
• C = (F - 32)/1.8
The following list shows the minimums and color associations:
VFR Visibility > = 3 AND Cloud Ceiling > = 1500 (ft AGL)
MVFR Visibility > = 2 AND Cloud Ceiling > = 1000 (ft AGL)
IFR Visibility > =1 AND Cloud Ceiling > = 300 (ft AGL)
LIFR Visibility < 1 OR Cloud Ceiling < 300 (ft AGL)
The METAR symbols are similar to what is used in aviation weather depiction charts.
The areas depicted in black are shaded with the colors associated with above.
