Something you will have to get used to, these are known as TAFs (Terminal Airfield Forecast), you also get METARs in a similar format (Actual wx)
The East Midlands reads:
East Midlands (EGNX in ICAO format)
Date(061009) 6th, time of forecast 1009Z
period of forecast(061812) from 6th at 1800Z to 7th at 1200Z
Wind(23015kt) 230/15kts
Visability (9999) 10km or more
Cloud (SCT030) scattered at 3,000'
Temporary bretween 1800 and 1200 (TEMPO 1812) wind 240/20 gusting 32 viz 6000 meters in showers of rain and hail cloud broken cumulo nimbus at 2000'

try the BHX one yourself and see how you get on
