EGNT 050750Z 26008KT 8000 -RA FEW020 BKN028 02/00 Q0979 25290095

Anyone know what it means? I can't recall seeing them in my Met study book or my exam. Have never seen this at all before so I am interested as to what they mean!

I asked the same question yesterday. Some good links were posted to explain them
