Jon, what's the status of sig weather in the last hour, these days,
in
respect of METARs?


RERA etc is still used to indicate a change in the intensity of the
precipitation (IIRC i.e. RA to -RA/Nil or +RA to RA) during the period
since the last METAR; but I'd hazard a guess that it's incorrectly
omitted more often than not these days. RESHRA was also introduced in
March.

Jon.
