KFAR 111753Z 28029G38KT 10SM OVC033 16/05 A2980 RMK AO2 PK WND 28038/1749 SLP091 T01560050 10189 20139 53036
I am trying to "decrypt" the METAR past the PK mark. I understand that wind was 38 knots @ 280 at 1749 Z. What is after that?
SLP=Sea Level Pressure
T01560050 is a more accurate Temp and Dew point 16/05= 15.6/5.0
Annnd...
T00640036 10066 21012 58033 TSNO $
T00640036=HOURLY TEMPERATURE AND DEW POINT
reported to nearest tenth of oC; sn: 1 if temperature or dew point below 0oC and 0 if temperature/dew point 0oC or higher.
10066= 6-HOUR MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE,maximum temperature for past 6 hours reported to nearest tenth of degree Celsius
21012= 6-HOUR MINIMUM TEMPERATURE, minimum temperature for past 6 hours reported to nearest tenth of degree Celsius
58033=PRESSURE TENDENCY, the character (a) and amount of change in pressure (ppp) in tenths of hPa for the past 3 hours.
$= Maintenance is needed on the system

I'm bored at work.
Temperature/dewpoint does not matter for us pilots
Read my entire post- when was the last time you read a performance chart that had 10ths of degrees? Though in fairness to you I may not have been clear.You're kidding right?

about halfway down the page. Max temp, min temp, precip in the previous 6 hours.
