Hi Guys,
I once knew how the read these Aviation Wind Weather charts, but my mushy brain has forgotten...
EAST MIDLANDS EGNX 04/1150 041150Z 07010KT 030V100 9999 BR SKC 27/15 Q1010=
I think I remember the "07010KT" is 70 degrees (ie close to N-E-E), 10 Knots, and the "z" refers to elevation, but can someone resurect my old memories?

I'm not a pilot, but I play one on tv.

04/1150Z I believe is 1150Zulu time or Greenich mean time on the 4th of the month
07010KT Wind from 070 at 10 knots
030V100 I think is 30 miles of visibility below 10,000 ft
9999 BR SKC 27/15 Q1010 All I can make out of this is Broken Scattered clouds, Temperature 27 Dewpoint 15.
The rest I can figure out.

The time and wind portions are correct.. The 030V100, however, I think is stating that the wind is variable from 030 degrees to 100 degrees.. It's not exactly an ICAO standard METAR..
9999 BR SKC 27/15 Q1010 - Unrestricted visibility(9999), Mist(BR), Temp 27 Dewpoint 15, Altimeter setting 1010mb QNH(Q1010)..
