Does anybody know why temperature is not included within TAFs? I know winds aloft forecasts included temperatures 3,000 feet and above.
However surface temperature has it's value, and I would think this information should be included in TAFs. It could be useful in determining density altitude of an airport, ground roll landing distance, and whether I'm likely to find frost on my wings around the time that I am scheduled to land.
