Is that not, will be for up to but not exceeding 30 mins in any 60 min period, ie a la BBC, factor 30 needed if you go out, make it waterproof, sunshine and showers all day
Next up from PROB40, still hedging their bets......................

TEMPO can be for any time period, but the change mentioned will be for a maximum of half the time perioed. ie. TEMPO 0612 -RA will give you the probability of light rain for a maximum of 3 hours during 0600 and 1200, but which 3 hours is not known
