Indicators (iRixhVV)

Wind Indicator (iw) — Code 1

Precip Indicator (iR) — Code 17

Station Type/Wx (ix) — Code 19

Visibility & Cloud Base (hVV)

Visibility Input Mode

Visibility Value → auto VV (Code 25)

VV: //

Leave empty → VV = //

Lowest Cloud Base (h) — Code 14

Total Cloud & Wind (Nddff)

Total Cloud (N) — Code 20

Wind Direction

Divide by 10, rounded

Wind Speed (ff)

≥100 → adds 50 to dd

Notes on Section 0

🕒 YY/GG must be in UTC/GMT — never IST directly.
💨 Calm wind: Select "Calm" mode for dd=00 ff=00.
🌀 Variable wind: Select "Variable" for dd=99.
👁️ Visibility input auto-converts to WMO Code 25.
☁️ N=8: Sky completely covered. Use 7 for overcast with gaps.
