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 or 30-hour
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:
