Ra metar

Hii sir, I wants to get the International METAR codes Format for reporting weather information. ?

METAR is a format for reporting weather information. A METAR weather report is predominantly used by pilots in fulfillment of a part of a pre-flight weather briefing, and by meteorologists, who use aggregated METAR information to assist in weather forecasting.


Metar Codes


METAR indicates that the following is a standard hourly observation.

LBBG is the ICAO airport code for Burgas Airport.

041600Z indicates the time of the observation. It is the day of the month (04)
followed by the time of day

12012MPS indicates the wind direction is from 120° (east-southeast) at a speed of 12 m/s (23 knots; 27 mph; 44 km/h).

090V150 indicates the wind direction is varying from 90° true (east) to 150° true (south-southeast).

1400 indicates the prevailing visibility is 1,400 m (4,600 ft).

R04/P1500N indicates the Runway Visual Range (RVR) along runway 04 is 1,500 m (4,900 ft) and not changing significantly.

R22/P1500U indicates RVR along runway 22 is 1,500 m (4,900 ft) and rising.

+SN indicates snow is falling at a heavy intensity. If any precipitation begins with a minus or plus (-/+), it's either light or heavy.

BKN022 indicates a broken (over half the sky) cloud layer with its base at 2,200 ft (670 m) above ground level (AGL). The lowest "BKN" or "OVC" layer specifies the cloud ceiling.

OVC050 indicates an unbroken cloud layer (overcast) with its base at 5,000 ft (1,500 m) above ground level (AGL).

M04/M07 indicates the temperature is −4 °C (25 °F) and the dew point is −7 °C (19 °F). An M in front of the number indicates that the temperature/dew point is below zero Celsius.

Q1020 indicates the current altimeter setting (in QNH) is 1,020 hPa (30.12 inHg).

NOSIG is an example of a TREND forecast which is appended to METARs at stations while a forecaster is on watch. NOSIG means that no significant change is expected to the reported conditions within the next 2 hours.

8849//91 indicates the condition of the runway:

88 indicates either a specific runway (e.g. 25 = Rwy 25 or 25L; adding 50 will indicate Right Runway) or all the airport's runways ("88").

99 indicates repetition of the last message as no new information received.
