Question

And what does this mean: "BKN010 TX17/21Z TN16/03Z"? (from today's TAF from LFPG)?

Answer 1

Broken cloud layer at 1000 above ground level, max temperature at 21z is 17 celsius, minimum temperature at 3z is 16 celsius... at least I think... it looks like an American standard. I live in Canada and have never seen TX/TN in a TAF.
