Hi there,

today I encountered that the METAR forecast seems to be wrong interpreted in terms of IMC via VMC. See attached screenshot that shows deviation between skydemon and aeroweather whereas aeroweather seems to be correct.

METAR states few in 3000ft at EDDL which is IMC for skydemon but VMC for aeroweather (and myself).

Thanks,

Don't forget that you can also set your own VFR minima in Planning Options, and I'm not sure, but I think it's these user defined minima that SD uses to decide whether or not a particular airfield is VMC or IMC.
