Reading American METARS

[AndyDRHuddleston]

Hi All,

Just a query for all those sudying MET at ATPL level. I am trying to understand how METARS are translated from the American way of reporting. I understand the majority of what was given in the METAR below, but I don't understand what the last part (RMK.....)means??? Answers on a postcard!!
