Default METARS: What do RED WHT GRN mean?

Interesting!

What does RED mean guys? A couple of other METARS had WHT or GRN

at
the end, that too?


... they are airfield 'fitness' colours, used by military:

From BLU best, through WHT GRN YLO (1 and 2), AMB and RED. I'll try

and
find a link to the definitions, though someone may beat me to it!

One to be going on with ... though it's not up to date wrt YLO, because
that has been split into YLO1 and YLO2, but you get the general idea.
