Blowing from the South-Southeast (160°).
The arc on the rim marks where the wind is coming from, and the arrow points the way the air is moving. Strength is on the Beaufort scale below.
Temperature and moisture
A small gap between temperature and dew point means the air is close to saturation, the classic precursor to fog and low cloud.
Sky and ceiling
Cloud layers are drawn at their reported bases above the station. The denser a layer is drawn, the more of the sky it covers.
Aviation
Not enough ceiling or visibility data to determine a flight category.
No significant weather reported at the station.
Flight category combines the reported ceiling and visibility using the standard FAA thresholds.

Space weather
Geomagnetic conditions from EARF Space Weather. The aurora chance is worked out for this station's exact coordinates, and the aurora still needs a dark, clear sky to be seen.
Observation trend
METAR is published one observation at a time. EARF keeps a rolling record of every report it receives, so you can look back over the last 1 to 24 hours.
