And
:I can't find it in the various guides to the American-style METAR's.
:Obviously something to do with runway 'wetness' as it comes after
:thunderstorms and the like.

Just a wild guess - "drying after precipitation" ?


.... yes, that's what I wondered; it would fit the bill .... I can't
understand though why it's not listed anywhere - it is a common
abbreviation from that (ICAO) region (M).
