  1. The values are calculated directly from the sounding. LCL is the lifting condensation level. LFC denotes a level of free convection. EL denotes the equilibrium level. CAPE denotes the convective available potential energy, while CIN is the convective inhibition. Early morning (01:00–07:00 LT) rainfall measure at average of six observations
