VFR — ceiling 12,000 ft. Light winds at 160°/6 kt, visibility better than 10 statute miles, a few at 2,200 ft, scattered at 3,300 ft, broken at 12,000 ft, and broken at 25,000 ft. Would shift to MVFR if the ceiling drops to 3,000 ft or visibility below 5 SM.

KIAH · day 11 at 14:53 UTC · wind from 160° at 6 kt · visibility 10+ SM · a few clouds at 2,200 ft · scattered layer at 3,300 ft · broken layer at 12,000 ft · broken layer at 25,000 ft · temp 31°C / dewpoint 25°C · altimeter 30.07" Hg · automated station w/ precipitation discriminator · sea-level pressure 1018.0 mb

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.
