How to read the EDDS METAR
A METAR always follows the same order, so once you know the pattern you can read any station — including EDDS — at a glance:
- Station & time — the ICAO code (EDDS) and the observation time in UTC (Zulu).
- Wind — direction in degrees true and speed in knots, with gusts after a G. This is what SkyStudy matches against the Stuttgart Airport runways above.
- Visibility & weather — prevailing visibility, then any precipitation or obscuration codes.
- Cloud — cover and base in hundreds of feet AGL (FEW, SCT, BKN, OVC).
- Temperature / dewpoint and the altimeter setting close out the report.
