- How warnings write positions: degrees, a hyphen, then minutes, with N/S and E/W — 49-40.8N 003-43.8W.
- Area bound by
- Introduces a list of positions that are the corners of an area — the polygon the warning applies to.
- CANCEL THIS MSG
- The warning's own expiry: a line telling the reader when the message cancels itself.
- Date-time group (DTG)
