Some explanations ID and Password are entered one digit at a time using a touch tone phone only. Note the TT will speak each digit back one at a time as they are entered. (Only used with windTalkers that are subscription based) Current wind is the average wind speed and direction taken over a 5 minute period. Gusting to is the maximum wind speed and its direction over the last 5 minutes. Wind scatter is the range of wind directions received over the last hour. Generally if the wind varies in strength and direction over relatively short periods of time then the possibility that conditions are unsettled are quite good. Dew point is useful for estimating the height of cloud base. I believe the formula is …Cloud Height=((temperature-dew point)/2.5)*1000 I'm not actually too sure about this since I got the formula from the internet and modified it myself to use temperature in Celsius not Fahrenheit. (Answer is in feet above the height of the TT?) Note: TT is approximately 1610 feet (490m) above sea level. The minimum temperature recorded over the last 13 hours, this temperature and the hours ago are given. The idea with this temperature is also an indication of possible instability, if it was cold during the night and is warm today then it is possibly unstable. Current rain fall is the rain fall at the moment. Not necessarily a very accurate guide. |
