Body of Report: PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

Type of Report (METAR/SPECI)

METAR is the routine (scheduled) report. SPECI is the non-routine (unscheduled) weather report.

Station Identifier (CCCC)

ICAO station identifier. Consists of four alphabetic characters, e.g., KABC.

Date/Time (YYGGggZ)

Day of the month, followed by the actual time of the report or when the criteria for a SPECI is met or noted. Group ends with Z to indicate use of UTC. For example, 251456Z.

Report Modifier (AUTO or COR))

AUTO indicates a fully automated report. No human intervention. COR indicates a correction to a previously disseminated report.

Wind (dddff(f)Gfmfm(fm)KT) (dndndnVdxdxdx)

True wind direction in tens of degrees using three digits. Speed is reported in whole knots (two or three digits). Gusts (G) are appended to the speed if required. Group ends with KT to indicate knots. For example, 23018G26KT. If wind direction varies by 60° or more and speed is > 6 knots a variable wind group is also reported, e.g., 180V250. Direction may be reported VRB (variable) if speed is £ 6 knots, e.g., VRB05KT. Calm winds are reported 00000KT.

Visibility (VVVVVSM)

Surface visibility reported in statute miles. A space divides whole miles and fractions. Group ends with SM to indicate statute miles. For example, 1 1/2SM. Auto only: M prefixed to value < 1/4 mile, e.g., M1/4SM.

Runway Visual Range (RDRDR/VRVRVRVRFT or RDRDR/VnVnVnVnVVxVxVxVxFT)

10-Minute RVR value: Reported in hundreds of feet if visibility is £ one statute mile or RVR is £ 6000 feet. Group ends with FT to indicate feet. For example, R06L/2000FT. The RVR value is prefixed with either M or P to indicate the value is lower or higher than the RVR reportable values, e.g., R06L/P6000FT. If the RVR is variable during the 10-minute evaluation period, the variability is reported, e.g., R06L/2000V4000FT.

Present Weather (w'w')

Present weather (other than obscurations) occurring at the station are reported in the body of the METAR/SPECI. Obscurations are reported if visibility < 7 miles. VA may be reported with any visibility. BCFG and PRFG may also be reported if visibility ³ 7SM. Some present weather and qualifiers may be reported if In-the-Vicinity (not at point-of-observation), e.g., TS, FG, SH, PO, BLDU, BLSA, BLSN, SS and DS. Weather is reported in order of decreasing dominance. Maximum of three groups reported (precipitation included in one group; separate groups for other weather). Automated stations can only report RA, SN, UP, FG, BR, FZFG, HZ, and SQ without augmentation. See table on reverse for more information on qualifiers and weather phenomena.

Sky Condition (NsNsNshshshs or VVhshshs or SKC/CLR)

Automated stations truncate to three layers up to 12000 feet; if no layers are detected CLR is reported. At manual stations up to six layers can be reported; if no layers observed SKC is reported. Each layer contains the amount (FEW, SCT, BKN, OVC) immediately followed by the height using three digits, e.g., FEW015 BKN030. Any layer containing CB or TCU (manual only) the contraction is appended to the layer height, e.g., FEW015TCU. All layers are considered opaque. Vertical visibility (VV) is reported in hundreds of feet for an indefinite ceiling, e.g., VV002. Surface obscuration (manual only) reported using amount (FEW, SCT, BKN), followed by "000," e.g., SCT000; remark required.

Temperature/Dew Point (T'T'/T'dT'd)

Temperature and dew point are reported to the nearest whole degree Celsius using two digits, e.g., 17/13. Sub-zero values are prefixed with an M, e.g., 03/M02.

Altimeter (APHPHPHPH)

Altimeter is prefixed with an A indicating altimeter in inches of mercury. Reported using four digits; tens, units, tenths, and hundredths of inches of mercury, e.g., A2990.

Remarks (RMK) -- Divided into two categories: 1. Automated, Manual (Augmented), Plain Language (Manual Only), 2. Additive and Automated Maintenance Data. The following describes the order in which remarks are reported.

Footnotes for Weather Phenomena Matrix

1 - Only 1 descriptor shall be included for each weather phenomena group, e.g., BCFG. Only 2 exceptions exist to
      this rule: VCSH and VCTS.

2 - Vicinity is defined as >0SM (not at point of observation) to 10SM of the point of observation for precipitation.
      Other than precipitation (VCFG, VCBLSN, VCBLSA, VCBLDU, VCPO, VCSS, VCDS), vicinity is 5SM to 10SM.

3 - Raised by wind to less than 6 feet above the ground.

4 - TS may be reported by itself if no precipitation is associated with the thunderstorm.

5 - No intensity is ever given to hail (GR/GS[snow pellets]) or ice crystals (IC).

6 - Largest hailstone observed has a diameter of 1/4 inch or more.

7 - Hailstone diameter is less than 1/4 inch. No remark is entered for hailstone size.

8 - VCTS shall only be used by automated stations. Not a manual entry. If thunder is heard, TS shall be reported.

9 - Showers (SH), when associated with the indicator VC, the type and intensity of the showery precipitation shall not
      be specified, i.e., +VCSHRA is not allowed; only VCSH would be reported. VCSH shall be used to report any type
      of precipitation not at point of observation, but >0 to 10SM.

10 - BR (mist) shall only be used when the visibility is at least 5/8SM, but not more than 6SM.

11 - For FG (fog) to be reported without the qualifiers VC12, MI13, PR14, or BC15 the visibility shall be less than
       5/8 SM.

12 - VC is used to report any type of fog observed in the vicinity (5-10SM) of the station.

13 - MIFG (shallow fog) to be reported, the visibility at 6 feet above ground level shall be 5/8SM or more and the
       apparent visibility in the fog layer shall be less than 5/8SM.

14 - PRFG (partial fog) indicates that a substantial part of the station is covered by fog while the remainder is clear of
       fog.

15 - BCFG (patches fog) indicates that patches of fog randomly cover the station.

16 - FZFG is any fog consisting predominately of water droplets at temperatures below 0°C and visibility less than 5/8
       statute miles, whether it is depositing rime or not.

17 - Volcanic Ash is always reported in the body of the METAR/SPECI when present. Visibility is not a factor.

18 - SN BLSN indicates snow falling from clouds with blowing snow occurring. If the observer cannot determine
       whether or not snow is also falling from clouds, then only BLSN shall be reported.

19 - SQ (squall) is a sudden increase in wind speed of at least 16 knots, the speed rising to 22 knots or more and
       lasting for at least one minute.

20 - Tornadoes and Waterspouts shall be reported using the indicator "+", i.e., +FC.

21 - SS (sandstorm) reported if the visibility is ³ 5/16SM and £ 5/8SM. Report +SS if the visibility is < 5/16SM.

22 - DS (duststorm) reported if the visibility is ³ 5/16SM and £ 5/8SM. Report +DS if the visibility is < 5/16SM.

No more than three weather groups shall be used to report weather phenomena at or near the station. If more than one significant weather phenomena is observed, separate weather phenomena groups shall be included in the report. If more than one form of precipitation is observed, the appropriate abbreviations shall be combined in a single group with the dominant type of precipitation being reported first. In such a single group, the intensity shall refer to the first type of precipitation reported, e.g., -RASN FG HZ.
