"EGLL" is Heathrow ("East Greenwich"). It's the ICAO code for that airport. "SHRA" is rain showers. BKN is broken clouds. "SCT024" is a weather update - Scattered Clouds at 24,000 feet. Most of the rest was the time, ie 121320Z = 12:13 and twenty seconds, Zulu time (which is GMT). QC is a Quality Control flag from NOAA, the American weather forecasting thing, covering their arse. RESHRA = REcent SHower of RAin..
