Only reported if a CS215 is connected to provide relative humidity, otherwise they will default to mist (10) or fog (20, 30, 31, 

32, 33, 34 or 35). 

**Only reported in the generic SYNOP messages. 

D2. METAR Codes produced by the CS125 

The following METAR codes from WMO table 4678 can be output by the sensor.

HZ   Haze 
BR  Mist 
FG   Fog 
DZ   Drizzle 
RA   Rain 
SG  Snow grains 
SN   Snow 
PL  Ice pellets 
 

Notes:  

 
HZ will only be reported if a CS215 is connected to allow relative humidity 
information to be available. 
 
FZ (freezing) may be added as a descriptor in front of BR, FG, DZ and RZ 
 
Intensity qualifiers, ‘-‘ for light, ‘+’ for heavy, may be added in front of DZ, RA, 
SN, and PL 
 
Combinations, for example RASN for rain and snow can be reported.
