YPLM 130750Z 24009KT 7000 VCSH FEW030TCU SCT050 BKN080 22/21 Q1016 It's the number of metres visibility (so in this case it's 7km). I read somewhere that Metar visibility is not listed as more than 10 miles if the vis is more than 10 miles. Is this true? I remember reading a vis of 99 miles at some point in the past. Or am I thinking of something else? Yup. If it says "9999", it means "10 kilometres or more". D. |
