TTT - Temperature (.1 C) ... /// if missing
If the tenths digit is odd,
the temperature is negative.
Otherwise,
the temperature is positive.
For example:
```
  234 = 23.4 C 
  123 =-12.3 C
```
DD - Dewpoint depression (C) ... // if missing
If DD is less than or equal to 50,
then the dewpoint depression is in tenths of a degree C.
Otherwise,
the dewpoint depression is in degrees C plus 50.
For example:
```
  65 = 15 C
  57 =  7 C
  44 =  4.4 C
  12 =  1.2 C
```
ddd - Wind direction (to nearest 5 degrees) ... /// if missing
If ones digit 1 or 6, add 100 to wind speed and direction is 0 or 5 repsectively
If ones digit 2 or 7, add 200 to wind speed and direction is 0 or 5 repsectively
ff - Wind speed (knts) ... // if missing
If DDD is not an even multiple of 5, the difference between ddd and an even multiple of 5 is then added to the wind speed as the hundredths digit. For example:
```
  31523 = 315 deg at  23 knts
  25612 = 255 deg at 112 knts
```
