METARs Help Page 1 of 3

The METARs Page contains 2 separate options for displaying METAR data.

  • To display the latest METAR graphical plot,

    • Select one of the regions from the menu
    • Click "Get image".

    This will display the latest METAR plot for the region you selected.

    Note that the graphical representation of METARs uses a specific format.

  • To display the METAR text for a specific station, use the "Latest METAR text" FORM with a series of selections.

    1. Enter the 4-character ICAO station identifier for the station you wish to display. You may enter multiple stations by separating them with commas; for example: RCSS, RCMT
    2. Select the time span of the data from the pulldown menu.
    3. Select either Standard or Translated format.
    4. Click "Get text".

    This should cause METAR text for the station chosen to appear on your screen. Note that "Latest only" may not return data if none has been received in the past 24 hours.
