// Interpretation

MVFR — ceiling 2,700 ft. Winds calm, visibility better than 10 statute miles, scattered at 1,900 ft, broken at 2,700 ft, and overcast at 6,000 ft. Would drop to IFR below 1,000 ft ceiling or 3 SM visibility, or rise back to VFR above 3,000 ft and 5 SM.

Approximate using ~10% perf loss / 1,000 ft DA for normally aspirated, scaled by powerplant type. Verify with your aircraft's POH for accurate numbers — especially above 5,000 ft DA where these rules of thumb diverge.
