Hey Guys and Gals,
Just wondering what all this means in the Fairford METAR? Had a look on the Met Office guide to TAFs and METARs but cant find anything? 10 points to Griffindor if anyone knows??

RMK = Remarks
AO2 = Station with a Precipitation Descriminator
PRESFR = Pressure Rising and Falling Rapidly
SLP = Sea Level Pressure
PK WND = Peak Wind

I think it's "Pressure Falling Rapidly" not rising and falling.
