METARS AND TAFS
METAR (METeorological Aerodrome Report) is an international code used for
reporting weather observations. METARs are updated hourly or as needed. METARs
typically contain information about the temperature, dew point, wind, precipitation,
cloud cover, cloud heights, visibility, and barometric pressure. They can also contain
information on precipitation amounts, lightning, and other critical data.
TAF (Terminal Area Forecast) is the standard format for 24-hour weather forecasts.
TAFs may contain some of the same code as METAR data. It typically forecasts
significant weather changes, temporary changes, probable changes, and expected
changes in weather conditions.
METAR and TAF data are displayed as raw and/or decoded text (METAR only).
Viewing METAR and TAF Information:
1) From any page tap
2) Select the Weather Tab to view METAR, TAF, Winds Aloft and the Area
Forecast for the selected airport.
