Which of the following is NOT typically included in a TAF?

The reason that the current temperature is not typically included in a Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) is that TAFs focus primarily on expected weather conditions over a specified period, usually covering a 24 to 30-hour timeframe. A TAF provides information on significant weather phenomena, including forecasts of wind direction and speed, visibility, and overall weather conditions such as rain, snow, or thunderstorms.

In contrast, the current temperature is a static piece of information that reflects the immediate atmospheric conditions rather than predictions. While temperatures are relevant for pilots and meteorologists, TAFs are designed to convey changing conditions that might affect flight operations rather than the actual current state of the environment.

As a result, when reviewing TAFs, a pilot or flight planner would look for forecasts about wind, visibility, and weather types that affect operations rather than the current temperature, which can be found in METAR reports instead.
