airport weather report. I've seen something like that at my friend's dad's house (he does ham radio stuff).

The first 4 letters are the broadcasting region and the rest . . . ????

ok...

KSMQ = US Location, Somerset Airport

080253Z = day 8, 0253 hrs (2:53 AM), ZULU (GMT)

00000KT = No wind direction (000) and no wind speed (00) (no wind), KT stands for Knots

7SM = 7 Statute Miles of visibility

-RA = Light Rain

OVC032 = Overcast (?) w/ceiling of 3200ft

02/02 = 02 degrees celcius (temp), 02 degrees celcius (dewpoint)

A2976 = Altimeter 29.76" of mercury (barometric reading)

RMK AO2 = Remarks (ending); automated station

the rest I'm unsure of but know they're all weather status indicators related to the station's location... its a METAR weather report used by airports...
