If wind speed is less than or equal to 6 kn (11 km/h; 6.9 mph), the wind direction will be displayed as variable or "VRB". If the wind speed is greater than 6 knots, but the direction varies more than 60° in the past 2 minutes, METAR will report the range of wind direction.
Despite this, METAR reports from the United States also report the temperature (and dewpoint, see below) in degrees Celsius. Dew point is the temperature to which a given parcel of air must be cooled, at constant atmospheric pressure, for water vapor to condense into water. The condensed water is called dew. The dew point is a saturation point.
Winds are depicted as blowing from the direction the flags are facing. Therefore, a northeast wind will be depicted with a line extending from the cloud circle to the northeast, with flags indicating wind speed on the northeast end of this line. [5] Once plotted on a map, an analysis of isotachs (lines of equal wind speeds) can be accomplished ...
Farmers rely on weather forecasts to decide what work to do on any particular day. For example, drying hay is only feasible in dry weather. Prolonged periods of dryness can ruin cotton, wheat, [105] and corn crops. While corn crops can be ruined by drought, their dried remains can be used as a cattle feed substitute in the form of silage. [106]
What is an atmospheric river? Atmospheric rivers are no strangers to the western U.S., especially during the fall and winter months. Atmospheric rivers, or "ARs," are elongated, narrow regions of ...
The AWOS-C is the most up-to-date FAA owned AWOS facility and can generate METAR/SPECI formatted aviation weather reports. The AWOS-C is functionally equivalent to the ASOS. [4] FAA owned AWOS-C units in Alaska are typically classified as AWOS-C IIIP units while all other AWOS-C units are typically classified as AWOS III P/T units. [5]
0518/0624 indicates that the report is valid from the 5th at 1800 UTC until the 6th at 2400 UTC. The remainder of the first line contain the initial forecast conditions. Variations of the codes used for various weather conditions are many. [6] 31008KT indicates that the wind will be from 310° true at 8 knots (9 mph; 4 m/s).
A website that ranks small to mid-sized cities across America has, for the second year in a row, listed Fall River among the 100 best cities in the country thanks to its parks, restaurants and ...
