If you have visited our airport pages (like JFK or Madrid), you have likely seen an unintelligible string of text called METAR. It is not a system error; it is the most precise weather report in the world.
Basic Structure
A typical METAR looks like this: LEMD 121000Z 33008KT CAVOK...
- LEMD: ICAO Airport Code (Madrid).
- 121000Z: Day 12 of the month at 10:00 Zulu (UTC).
- 33008KT: Wind from direction 330 at 8 knots.
- CAVOK: "Ceiling and Visibility OK" (Clear skies).
