What is a METAR?

A METAR (Meteorological Aerodrome Report) is a standardized weather observation issued by airports worldwide. It reports current surface conditions — wind, visibility, clouds, temperature, dewpoint, and barometric pressure.

METARs are issued hourly (routine) or when conditions change significantly (special — SPECI). Every pilot is expected to interpret them during preflight planning.

This tool decodes each element into plain English. For AI-assisted METAR interpretation during your real flight planning, the AeroCopilot AI copilot goes further — grounding weather in your route, aircraft, and personal minimums.

Decode METARs with AI, in context

AeroCopilot's AI copilot interprets weather in the context of your flight — not just the raw string.
