Answer The Question I've Same Question Too

Sort By: Date | Rating

The A is altimeter. RMK is remark. A02 is an automated station that has a weather discriminator for precipitation. SLP is sea level pressure. Virga is any kind of precipitation, not reaching ground but evaporating in mid-air. I believe that the T10061133 is temp and dew point in tenths.

TAFs don't give temperature or dew point.

A3013 = Altimeter= 30.13

RMK = Remarks

A02 = Type of automated reporting equipment

SLP = Sea Level Pressure 1020.1 Millibars

VIRGA E-S = Virga East through South clockwise

T10061133 = Temperature -6.1C Dew point -3.3C

VIRGA = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virga

Hourly Temperature and Dewpoint

T1006 means ..the one is for below zero celsius (0 is above zero Celsius, 1 is below zero Celsius)the first number will always be either a 1 or 0. this is followed by a three numbers giving the temp to the nearest tenth. in this case, the temp is

- 00.6c

followed by the dew point.....1133 meaning -13.3c
