Incidentally, am I reading this Actual right, or is this a typo:
CYHZ 290400Z 34019G54KT 3/4SM R14/5000VP6000FT/D -SN DRSN BKN007
????
If that's correct, it's one hell of a gust factor!
Yes it is indeed, if true. I am a retired professional meteorologist, and such factors as about 2.8 are, as pilots will know, very rare but possibly associated with thunderstorms or indeed city centres. Very unlikely that anyone would write it in a TAF, for example.
