8. Sky condition—always reported in the sequence of amount, height, and type or indefinite ceiling/height (vertical visibility) (e.g., BKN008 OVC012CB). The heights of the cloud bases are reported with a three-digit number in hundreds of feet above the ground. Clouds above 12,000 feet are not detected or reported by an automated station. The types of clouds, specifically towering cumulus (TCU) or cumulonimbus (CB) clouds, are reported with their height. Contractions are used to describe the amount of cloud coverage and obscuring phenomena. The amount of sky coverage is reported in eighths of the sky from horizon to horizon.
9. Temperature and dew point—always given in degrees Celsius (e.g., 18/17). Temperatures below 0 °C are preceded by the letter “M” to indicate minus.
10. Altimeter setting—reported as inches of mercury in a four-digit number group, and is always preceded by the letter “A” (e.g., A2970). Rising or falling pressure may also be denoted in the remarks sections as “PRESRR” or “PRESFR” respectively.
11. Remarks—comments may or may not appear in this section of the METAR. The information contained in this section may include wind data, variable visibility, beginning and ending times of particular phenomenon, pressure information, and various other information deemed necessary. An example of a remark regarding weather phenomenon that does not fit in any other category would be: OCNL LTGICCG. This translates as occasional lightning in the clouds, and from cloud to ground. Automated stations also use the remarks section to indicate the equipment needs maintenance. The remarks section always begins with the letters “RMK.”

Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAF)
A terminal aerodrome forecast (TAF) is a report established for the five statute mile radius around an airport. TAF reports are usually given for larger airports. Each TAF is valid for a 24-hour time period, and is updated four times a day at 0000Z, 0600Z, 1200Z, and 1800Z. TAF utilizes the same descriptors and abbreviations as used in the METAR report.
The terminal forecast includes the following information in sequential order:
1. Type of report—TAF can be either a routine forecast (TAF) or an amended forecast (TAF AMD).
2. ICAO station identifier—The station identifier is the same as that used in a METAR.
3. Date and Time of Origin—reported in a six-digit code. The first two indicate the date, the last four indicate the time. Time is always given in UTC as denoted by the “Z” following the number group.
4. Valid period date and time—the valid forecast time period is reported in a six-digit number group. The first two numbers indicate the date, followed by the two-digit beginning time for the valid period, followed by the two digit ending time.
5. Forecast Wind—the wind direction and speed forecast are reported in a five-digit number group. The first three digits indicate the direction of the wind in reference to true north. The last two digits state the windspeed in knots, as denoted by the letters “KT.”
4-39
As in the METAR, winds greater than 99 knots are given in three digits.
6. Forecast visibility—reported in statute miles, in whole numbers or fractions. If the forecast visibility is greater than 6 miles, it will be coded as “P6SM.”
7. Forecast significant weather—weather phenomenon is coded in the TAF reports in the same format as the METAR. If no significant weather is expected during the forecast time period, the denotation “NSW” will be included in the “becoming” or “temporary” weather groups.
8. Forecast sky condition—reported in the same manner as the METAR. Only cumulonimbus (CB) clouds are forecast in this portion of the TAF report as opposed to CBs and towering cumulus in the METAR.
9. Forecast change group—for any significant weather change forecast to occur during the TAF time period, the expected conditions and time period are included in this group. This information may be shown as From (FM), Becoming (BECMG), and Temporary (TEMPO). “From” is used when a rapid and significant change, usually within an hour, is expected. “Becoming” is used when a gradual change in the weather is expected over a period of no more than 2 hours. “Temporary” is used for temporary fluctuations of weather, expected to last for less than an hour.
