Weather abbrevation

[Malov]

Good day, came across this and have yet to determine what it stands for. Nothing so far and this is my last resort, so far

WX.............: -RA/DZ FIRST N-PART, RIK LCA SHRA

What does RIK stand for?

Where is the airport situated? Different parts of the world have different abbreviations.

Also, it might help to see the entire report.

I can perhaps imagine the whole thing being a typo where they meant to write RISK but it became only RIK... What do you think? Lol

I agree, and I think 'LCA' means 'locally'.

[Malov]

You`re right, LCA means locally. In the abbrevation list RIK is not listed, but there are several that are not listed however so thought I might check out here as well to see if anyone knew. Lots of experience here so

I came to the conclusion that RIK is typo for RISK

[744rules]

RIK a typo for RMK ?? Or doesn't that make any sense in this context. ?
