Wind/Temp Text (FB Winds)
The data block shows ddffttt where dd is the wind direction in 10s of degrees, ff is the win speed in knots and ttt is the temperature in Celsius.
At higher levels, the sign for the temperature is not needed since it's assumed all values are negative..
They follow the format ddfftt, where dd is the wind direction (true), ff is the wind speed (in knots) and tt is the temperature (in degrees Celsius).
Subtracting 100 knots from the speed and adding 50 to the direction indicate wind speeds from 100 to 199 knots.
For example, 240 degrees @ 130 knots is coded 7430..
The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) produces scheduled wind and temperature aloft forecasts four (4) times daily for specified locations in the Continental United States (CONUS), the Hawaiian Islands, Alaska and coastal waters, and the Pacific Ocean..
3.1.
6) Upper Winds (FD's)
They follow the format ddfftt, where dd is the wind direction (true), ff is the wind speed (in knots) and tt is the temperature (in degrees Celsius).
Subtracting 100 knots from the speed and adding 50 to the direction indicate wind speeds from 100 to 199 knots..
The Visibility, Cloud, and Weather groups are replaced by the term CAVOK (cloud and visibility OK) when the following conditions exist simultaneously: Visibility is 10km or more.
No CB or TCU and no cloud below 5000 feet or Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA) (whichever is the greater)..
Winds aloft, officially known as the winds and temperatures aloft forecast, (known as "FD" in the US and Canada, but becoming known as "FB", following the World Meteorological Organization [WMO] nomenclature), is a forecast of specific atmospheric conditions in terms of wind and temperature at certain altitudes, .
Wind/Temp Text (FB Winds)
The Winds/Temps text data are the official FB Winds product from NCEP.
This provides winds from 3000 to 53,000 feet out to 6, 12 and 24 hours.
The data is extracted from model output for individual airports represented by a 3 letter IATA identifier.
The data are grouped by region..
Graphical Forecasts for Aviation (GFA)
The website includes observational data, forecasts, and warnings that can be viewed from 14 hours in the past to 15 hours in the future, including thunderstorms, clouds, flight category, precipitation, icing, turbulence, and wind..

Some iOS users have also discovered it hidden in their Facebook app's hamburger menu
If you do see it, you'll get a rudimentary app that gives you an hour-by-hour weather forecast for the current day and a simple forecast for the next five days
Also if you use development or experimental FBW airbus the weather and terrain radars are currently inop We don’t have any weather or terrain radar in dev and exp version, because we did build our own, custom ND from scratch in these versions
So far MSFS does not provide proper data for weather and terrain for 3rd party developers
