Which weather code stands for Ice Pellets?

• A. Nil Significant Weather
• B. Ice Pellets
• C. Dust Devil
• D. Rain

Answer: (B)

In weather coding, each observed phenomenon has a specific label used in reports so anyone reading it can quickly recognize what’s happening. Ice pellets are a distinct precipitation type, and the term used to describe that exact phenomenon is “Ice Pellets.” That makes it the best match here because it directly names the condition the code is signaling.

The other options describe different things: “Nil Significant Weather” means there’s no notable weather to report, which isn’t about ice pellets; a “Dust Devil” isn’t a standard aviation weather code for precipitation; and “Rain” refers to a different precipitation type with its own code.
