FBL in the actual weather

[CTLHC]

Can anyone enlighten me with the meaning of the abbreviation "FBL" on an actual weather report? Saw it the other day at EKCH. Is it French perhaps?

[gorter]

Any chance of posting the whole metar? Also i doubt you'd find french abbreviations at copenhagen.

Google + metar+FBL = Aeronautical Abbreviations (http://www.dixwx.com/abbreviations.htm)

ICAO term for 'light' intensity.

I believe it's derived from 'feeble'.

Actually there are a few French abbreviations used in weather reports:

BR - Mist - Brouillard
GR - Hail - Grele
FBL - Light - Faible
PO - Dust devils - Poussiere

Possibly more, but my French isn't up to it.

I can confirm FBL means feeble (meaning weak, for our non native English speakers)

[The Range]

I thought BR was for brume.

[stilton]

I thought it was 'barely raining'

[gorter]

Mea culpa. I misunderstood what the op meant by 'is it French'

[PappyJ]

Light (to qualify icing, turbulence etc)

otherwise known as, Fuc&ing Bloody Light!
