A Record that is intended to contain meteorological forecasting conditions at an aerodrome.  This class is the result of MeteorologicalAerodromeForecast observations.  This class is also related but not identical to MeteorologicalAerodromeTrendForecastRecord, which is reported on a METAR/SPECI.  Conditions reported in trend forecasts in METAR/SPECI differ from forecast groups in a TAF.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p>When no clouds of operational significance or no weather of operational significance is predicted, the nothingOfOperationalSignificance nilReason should be used for the cloud or presentWeather association.  <br /></p>

Name: temperature
 
Details:
Minimum and maximum temperatures observed at specific times, consisting of up to a maximum of four temperatures (two maximum temperatures and two minimum temperatures).<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font color="#ff0000">Due to Note 9 on Table A5-1: "consisting of up to a maximum of four temperatures (two maximum temperatures and two minimum temperatures)", there can be up to two temperature groups on each MeteorologicalAerodromeForecastRecord.  It is possible that Annex 3 instead specifies four temperatures for the entire TAF but no more than one for each Record, in which case this association would need to be corrected to be 0..1 and a constraint on TAF would need to be put in place to ensure that no more than two temperature forecast groups exist on any single TAF.</font><br /></p>
