// Interpretation

MVFR — ceiling 1,200 ft. Winds calm, visibility 6.0 SM, broken at 1,200 ft, broken at 1,700 ft, and overcast at 5,000 ft. Reported weather: light rain and mist (-RA BR). Mist is water droplets thinning visibility to between 5/8 and 6 SM — the moist, lighter cousin of fog. 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. Severity rating assumes a standard altimeter setting (29.92" Hg / 1013 hPa); a non-standard setting shifts the effective altitude by roughly 1,000 ft per 1" Hg of deviation.
