How to read the LKPR METAR
A METAR always follows the same order, so once you know the pattern you can read any station — including LKPR — at a glance:
- Station & time — the ICAO code (LKPR) and the observation time in UTC (Zulu).
- Wind — direction in degrees true and speed in knots, with gusts after a G. This is what SkyStudy matches against the Václav Havel Airport Prague runways above.
- Visibility & weather — prevailing visibility, then any precipitation or obscuration codes.
- Cloud — cover and base in hundreds of feet AGL (FEW, SCT, BKN, OVC).
- Temperature / dewpoint and the altimeter setting close out the report.
This is the same operational weather language tested across EASA ATPL Meteorology and Flight Planning. Prefer a guided walkthrough? Use the full METAR & TAF decoder.
