What Does OVC Stand For?
OVC stands for Overcast METAR Code
OVC, or Overcast METAR Code, is a term used in aviation meteorology to indicate cloud cover conditions as reported in METAR (Meteorological Aerodrome Report) observations. Specifically, OVC signifies that the sky is completely covered by clouds, with cloud base typically at or below 2000 feet above ground level. This code aids pilots and meteorologists in assessing weather conditions for flight planning and safety.
