Fairford METAR

[Squawk 2650]

Hey Guys and Gals,

Just wondering what all this means in the Fairford METAR? Had a look on the Met Office guide to TAFs and METARs but cant find anything? 10 points to Griffindor if anyone knows??

RMK = Remarks
AO2 = Station with a Precipitation Descriminator
PRESFR = Pressure Rising and Falling Rapidly
SLP = Sea Level Pressure
PK WND = Peak Wind

I think it's "Pressure Falling Rapidly" not rising and falling.

Trace precip, temp 17.9 degC, dewpoint 14.2 degC, pressure decreasing then steady 1.9 hPa less than 3 hours ago.

In the Coding section of the FMH.

Bear in mind that it's US-specific.

I don't do Spamspeak. Guess this just means the weather is dog$hit?
