// What is a METAR?
A METAR is the routine aviation weather report issued from every reporting airport, roughly every hour. It encodes wind, visibility, cloud layers, temperature, pressure, and any present weather phenomena into a short coded line.
The raw format is dense and unfriendly. Tracon Labs reformats it into a glance-able dashboard for anyone who needs to read aviation weather quickly.
// What's different here?
- Runway analysis — wind components computed per runway, recommended runway flagged
- Density altitude — current value, 24h trend, and aircraft performance impact per powerplant type
- Plain-English interpretation — current conditions + forward-looking forecast narrative
- Cloud-layer diagram — vertical slice with freezing level and ground elevation
- Nearest reporting stations — auto-finds alternates within 60–200 NM
- Area map — interactive Leaflet with airport markers colored by category
// Where's the data from?
The NOAA Aviation Weather Center — the same authoritative source pilots use for flight planning. We refresh every 10 minutes (METAR cadence is hourly), respect AWC's rate limits via edge caching, and add no telemetry of our own.
Built by Tracon Labs — also the makers of METAR Deck for Stream Deck.
Want this on your desk? METAR Deck shows real-time flight category for any 10 airports on your Stream Deck — built by the same team.
