Once you hit 1 p.m., a 12-hour clock would start over from 1, but the 24-hour clock keeps going. So just subtract 12 from the number to get the evening time. For example, if the time listed is 14:00, it actually means 14 – 12 = 2:00 p.m.
How do you read a TAF?
The date and time are formatted using two sets of four digits each with the first two digits representing the day of the month and the second two the 24-hour time in hours only (no minutes since TAFS are issued on the hour).
