METAR, TAF & NOTAM Viewer for Aviation Professionals

Get real-time aviation weather reports (METAR/TAF) and Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) by ICAO code. For situational awareness only — always verify with official sources before flight or maintenance release.

⚠️ Safety Notice: This tool provides data from third-party APIs and may be delayed or incomplete. Never use this information for flight dispatch, maintenance release, or airworthiness decisions. Always consult official sources: NOAA Aviation Weather, FAA NOTAM Search, or your approved EFB.

Enter an ICAO airport code (e.g., KJFK for John F. Kennedy International Airport) to get real-time METAR, TAF, and NOTAM data.

Understanding Aviation Weather Reports

METAR

Aviation Routine Weather Report

Issued hourly (or hourly+special). Includes: wind, visibility, cloud layers, temperature, altimeter setting.

Example: KJFK 121752Z 18015G25KT 10SM FEW040 BKN250 12/08 A3012

TAF

Terminal Aerodrome Forecast

24–30 hour forecast for a specific airport. Updated 4x/day.

Example: KJFK 121723Z 1218/1318 18015G25KT P6SM FEW040

NOTAM

Notice to Airmen

Time-critical alerts: runway closures, nav aid outages, hazards, TFRs.

Example: !KJFK A2348/25 RWY 13/31 CLSD DUE TO CONSTRUCTION

Weather Reports FAQ

METAR (Meteorological Aerodrome Report) is a snapshot of the current weather at a specific time (usually issued hourly). TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecast) is a prediction of expected weather conditions over a period (usually 24 or 30 hours). Think of METAR as "what is happening now" and TAF as "what will happen later."

This is the Altimeter Setting.
  • A2992 (Inches of Mercury): Common in North America.
  • Q1013 (Hectopascals/mbar): Common in the rest of the world.
Setting this value correctly on the aircraft altimeter ensures the pilot knows their exact height above Sea Level (QNH).

CAVOK means "Ceiling And Visibility OK." It is used when:
  • Visibility is 10km or more.
  • No clouds below 5,000ft (or the highest minimum sector altitude).
  • No significant weather (precipitation, thunderstorms, etc.).

A SPECI is a special METAR issued between scheduled hourly reports because of a significant change in weather (e.g., a sudden thunderstorm, a shift in wind direction, or a drastic drop in visibility) that could affect flight safety.
