Someone once came up with standard TAF decode rules. You just look at the number of lines in the TAF
One line: Go
Two lines: Think about going
Three lines: No chance
On a more serious note, I think that getting good at reading TAFs is a matter of practice. The 18-hour TAFS provide good exercise every day.

Calm down. I said it wasn't meant as an attack.
Personally, I don't think just decoding a TAF or METAR takes much of the mystery out of it.
I'd suggest that having a METAR in your hand and sitting on the grass looking at what it means in the sky would be a better exercise.
Just an idea.

Miserlou - I should be careful about posting comments such as "What does it say about him then, that he needs a decoder for a TAF or METAR?" without knowing the underlying reason for the query.
As you say.....Just an idea.
