// Interpretation

MVFR — ceiling 2,800 ft. Winds calm, visibility better than 10 statute miles, broken at 2,800 ft, broken at 3,400 ft, and overcast at 3,900 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.
