METAR
METAR is a format for reporting current weather information.
METAR weather reports are predominantly used by pilots in fulfillment of a part of a pre-flight weather briefing, and by meteorologists, who use aggregated METAR information to assist in weather forecasting.
METARs typically come from airports or permanent weather observation stations. Reports are generated once an hour or half-hour, but if conditions change significantly, a special report may be issued. Some METARs are encoded by automated airport weather stations located at airports, military bases, and other sites. Some locations still use augmented observations, which are recorded by digital sensors, encoded via software, and then reviewed by certified weather observers or forecasters prior to being transmitted. Observations may also be taken by trained observers or forecasters who manually observe and encode their observations prior to transmission.
A typical METAR contains data for the temperature, dew point, wind direction and speed, precipitation, cloud cover and heights, visibility, and barometric pressure. A METAR may also contain information on precipitation amounts, lightning, and other information that would be of interest to pilots or meteorologists.
METAR is the most common format in the world for the transmission of observational weather data. It is highly standardized through the International Civil Aviation Organization, which allows it to be understood throughout most of the world.
Our decoded METAR, decodes the raw METAR string to create keys and values for each part in a METAR. We also include additional weather information and conversions in the response data.
Response Format: Standard vs Decoded
By default all of our METAR API endpoints return data in the standardized METAR string format.
By adding the /decoded URL parameter to the end of any METAR endpoint, the METAR will be decoded and displayed in key-value pairs in the response data.
