what does FRESRR mean?

Post by Melo »

hey guys,

Woke up to a windy morning and wanted to check to METARS to see what the wind was. I found in the CYHM and CYKF metars they had the term FRESRR mentioned. Does anyone know what this means??

The actual METAR is:

METAR CYHM 281300Z 25030G42KT 5SM -SHRA SCT011 OVC017 08/07 A2953 RMK
CF3SC5 GUST TO 52 KTS PAST HR FRESRR SLP001=

FRESRR was a typo in the CYHM METAR, which has since been corrected to PRESRR (pressure rising rapidly).

Been seeing this quite often over the past few weeks.

Also used: PRESFR - pressure falling rapidly.

Yepp, you guys got it. I think it's something in the order of 2 MB in an hour change to earn that.
