At first I thought this HAS to be a typo. But I've seen the same report in three separate places. Sensor glitch or typo? Does a human actually type these things out and submit them at the reporting station? (I'm not sure whether this is an automated reading, and I'm not sure that the lack of an automated reading symbol means the same thing at a military station that it does everywhere else.)

What part of it do you think is a typo? :confused:
 
Ah, I see now. Maybe they meant 34.

There's neither an AUTO nor an AO1/2 ... plus computers don't make typos ... so I'm guessing someone typed it in wrong.

But if they meant 34, then how come the peak wind was only 27?

Maybe it was the steady wind not the gust which was wrong, i.e., 01029G24KT was supposed to be 01019G24KT, not 01029G34KT -- that would fit with PK WND 35027.
