Section 03 / Decoder
Paste a raw METAR or TAF and get the plain-English breakdown: every field explained, wind compass, cloud layers, flight category, and — for TAFs — a color-coded forecast timeline.
Enter any ICAO identifier to fetch the current METAR from aviationweather.gov.
Live lookup requires the site to be served over HTTP. Right now you're opening the file directly, so fetching is disabled.
Switch to the Paste a METAR tab — copy any raw METAR from
aviationweather.gov and paste it there. Everything else works perfectly.
