Kingston TAF and METAR
Whilst a bit bored on a flight from Sao Paulo to Johannesburg on the night of the 19th/20th Aug I decided to pull a TAF and METAR on the ACARS for Kingston, Jamaica. This was over the perod of Hurricane Dean.
METAR: MKJP 200100 110P99KT (must be excess of 99kts) 0000 +SHRASQ BKN008 SC10CB OVC080 24/24 Q997
TAF: 191500Z 191818 11070G100 5000 TSRA BKN012 BKN016CB OVC080 TEMPO 1809 2000 +TSRA BECMG 0608 13025G40
I reckon a monitored approach is required for this one.

What about this?

"E" seems to be "estimated", the characters "OO" I have never seen before, do you have any clue?

The Eye passed Jamaica's southern coast, but it did not reach it. And to have such strong winds you need to have a high difference in pressure over a short distance. It is logical, isn't it? If you have a look at the link that I have posted before, you can have a look at the eye's position.
