Strange METAR decoding

[Gabriel Teles 172]

Hello!

 

 

So, guys... the weather was bad here in São Paulo and I loaded up ASN and FSX just to see how things would show up in the sim...

The clouds seemed to be too high in comparison to the real-world METAR, so I closed FSX/ASN and reloaded ASN. Clicked on "Conditions" tab, typed "SBGR" and took a look at the METAR. This is what I saw:

 

 

 

SBGR 030300Z 17003KT 9999 -TSRA BKN013 SCT035CB OVC080 15/14 Q1022 RERA WS R27L

Decoded textual weather for SBGR

Wind: 170 at 3 knots
Visibility: 10 SM (9999m)
Clouds: Overcast at 1000 feet, Broken at 9000 feet, Broken at 18000 feet, Overcast at 24000 feet
Temperature: 15,0C
Dewpoint: 14,0C
Precipitation: Light rain
Altimeter: 1022 mb (30,18 inches)
Thunderstorms in the vicinity

This station includes complete surface weather information, interpolation disabled.



Original metar of the stations:
SBGR 030300Z 17003KT 9999 -TSRA BKN013 SCT035CB OVC080 15/14 Q1022 RERA WS R27L

 

 

METAR information is spot on, but the interpretation seems wrong... 

Did I do something wrong? Is this a known issue? I'm really sorry if it is; this is pretty much my first time in this particular forum haha...

You might want to put this over on the HiFi forum at http://www.hifitechinc.com/forums/forum.php where it'll be seen more quickly.  IMHO there is something wrong with the interpretation....
