**Decoding a METAR header.** - **KDKB** — station identifier (DeKalb, IL). The `K` prefix = CONUS airport. - **151235Z** — day 15, **12:35 UTC** (Zulu time). Always UTC, never local. - **AUTO** — report generated by automated equipment (ASOS/AWOS), not a human observer. - **Age "(27m ago)"** on the slide just reflects how stale the report is at the moment of reading.
