I have just looked at a typical 24 hour Taf:

EGGW 181621Z 190024 22011KT 9999 SCT035 BECMG 0205 10005KT TEMPO 0407

6000 BECMG 1316 07015G27KT PROB40 TEMPO 1622 6000 RA
BECMG 2123 21010KT TEMPO 2123 BKN012=

In simple language, what the f*** will the conditions be at 0700
tomorrow? SCT cloud with rain?


Looks fairly straightforward for that time to me, i.e. 9999 SCT035 with a
TEMPO of a bit of HZ between 0400 and 0700. The PROB for the rain doesn't
start until 16Z.
