    AERODROME WEATHER REPORT


    AERODROME WEATHER REPORT -
    METAR AND SPECI DECODE
    IDENTIFICATION GROUPS
    METAR or METAR - Aviation routine weather report code name
    SPECI SPECI - Aviation special weather report code name
    COR COR - Code word used as appropriate
    CCCC ICAO four-letter location indicator
    YYGGgg In individual messages, day of the month and time of observation in hours and
    minutes UTC
    Z Indicator of UTC
    NIL NIL - Code word used as appropriate
    (AUTO) Fully automated observation indicator

    SURFACE WIND
    ddd Mean wind direction in degrees P199KMH (P99KT,
    true rounded off to nearest 10 P49MPS) mean ff
    degrees (VRB = VARIABLE or fmfm = 200KMH
    when ff < 3kt) (100KT, 50MPS) or
    ff Mean wind speed (10-minute 00000 = calm more
    mean or since discontinuity)
    G Indicator of Gust - if necessary
    fmfm Maximum wind speed (gust) - if
    necessary
    KMH or KT or MPS Wind speed units used
    Followed when there is a variation in wind direction of 60° or more but less than 180° and wind speed
    > 3KT by group below:
    dndndn Extreme direction of wind
    V Indicator of Variability
    dxdxdx Other extreme direction of wind (measured clockwise)

    PREVAILING VISIBILITY
    VVVV Prevailing visibility in meters or lowest visibility if visibility is not the same and
    fluctuating and the prevailing visibility cannot be determined.
    9999 = 10km or more
    Followed when visibility is not the same and minimum visibility ≠ prevailing and visibility < 1500m or visibility
    < 50% of prevailing and less than 5000m by the group below:
    VnVnVnVn Lowest visibility
    NDV Abbreviation for no directional variations.
    Followed by
    VnVnVnVn Lowest visibility
    Dv General direction of lowest visibility or most operationally significant if minimum
    visibility observed in more than one direction.

    RUNWAY VISUAL RANGE (RVR) WHERE REQUIRED, UP TO FOUR ACTIVE RUNWAYS


    R Indicator of RVR
    D RD R Runway designator – for parallel runways may have LL, L, C, R or RR appended
    (L = left; C = center; R = right)
    V RV RV RV R RVR (10-minute mean) at the touchdown zone P2000 = more than 2000m,
    M0050 = less than 50m
    i RVR tendency indicator over past 10 minutes. U = upward; D = downward; N =
    no distinct change. Omitted if possible to determine
    Replaced when there are significant variations in RVR by the group below:
    R Indicator of RVR
    D RD R Runway designator – for parallel runways may have LL, L C, R or RR
    V RV RV RV R RVR in meters (one-minute mean minimum value during last 10 minutes)
