Hi all, please consider the following METAR string:
 
EDDS 171150Z 32010KT 290V350 9999 -SHSN FEW018 SCT041TCU M01/M05 Q1021 R25/29//94 NOSIG

 

Does anybody know what the highlighted part means? R25 would likely be runway 25, not sure about the rest though. Thanks!

Runway 25

Wet or wet patches, 51 to 100% of runway covered

Depth of deposit not measurable

Braking action medium-good

Thanks, that makes sense. I didn't quite link it to the example given here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/METAR#Example_METAR_codes

 

Haven't found a complete overview of the codes yet.

I use this one: http://www.b737mrg.net/downloads/b737mrg_snowtammetar.pdf

You can use this site to decode metars: http://www.flightutilities.com/MRonline.aspx

I would love to see a full list of codes so that I know what they mean and don't have to rely on decoding (esp. in flight :smile:). EDIT: Thanks for the pdf, very useful!
