Ceiling

Forecast height of the lowest broken or overcast cloud layer above ground level. Colors follow the GAFOR scheme: red/pink below 1,000 ft AGL (Mike/X-Ray, no VFR), yellow 1,000–3,000 ft (Charlie), green above 5,000 ft (Delta/Oscar).

Computed from DWD ICON-D2's CEILING field, which finds the lowest level where total cloud cover exceeds 4/8. Note this is height above terrain, not above sea level — a 2,000 ft ceiling over the Alps and over the North German Plain mean very different absolute altitudes.
