Another wee example here.
Current EDI TAF:
TAF EGPH 211448Z 211601 07012KT 9999 -RA SCT018 BKN035
TEMPO 1921 8000 RA BKN014
BECMG 1921 8000 BKN012
TEMPO 2101 4000 RA BKN007 PROB30
TEMPO 2301 3000 RADZ +RA BKN004=
And current METAR:
METAR EGPH 211620Z 13012G23KT 9999 -DZ FEW030 13/07 Q1013
Compare wind direction and note gust - unforecasted.
Had an interesting one earlier, TAF originally showed rain at 1600Z, then the rain forecast was removed altogether from the TAF... and then it appeared again. All while there has been a sizeable band of rain observed on the (Met Office) weather radar moving steadily towards us, which as I speak seems to be very near Edinburgh now (vis. seems to have worsened & small showers of rain now breaking out).
EDIT: While I was posting this the TAFs/METARs were updated. Here's the latest EDI METAR & TAF... in comparison with earlier seems much more sensible. Well done guys.
