Title: Decoding a M.E.T.A.R. Report: [A M.E.T.A.R. report is shown with (incorrect) annotations. The report is:] M.E.T.A.R. ("Meter", usually misspelled.) K.N.Y.C. (Station I.D.) 251600 Z (Time: 25, 16, 002.) 18035 G 45 K.T. (Wind speed has been 18,035 knots for a good 45 minutes now.) 6 S.M. (Observer is a size 6 small.) V.C.F.C.F.Z.V.A. (Sorry, the station cat walked on the keyboard.) + Blup (Weird noise the sky made earlier.) No Sig (Observer has no significant other [frowny face].) L.T.G. O.H.D. (We overheard someone saying there was lightning.) A 3808 (Hey look, an Airbus A380-800!) R.M.K. (Remarkable!) A Oh 2 (Fanfic Archive equipped with a precipitation sensor.) S.P.L. 130= (Observer got sleepy around 1:30.)ALT

In the aviation world, they don’t use AM/PM times. Instead, all times are assumed to be AM unless they’re labeled NOTAM.
