To provide airline users with more recently updated weather information and a better match of departure/arrival time in the flight documents for medium-level flights, 6-hour and 12-hour forecast wind/temperature charts from World Area Forecast System (WAFS) are now provided on the AMIDS instead of the 24-hour forecast. The 24-hour forecast charts are still available on the AMIDS for airline users' reference.
