Terrific New Aviation Weather Website & App

The website http://www.metar-taf.com provides quick and accurate aviation weather, offering more locations than Nav Canada’s websites. The map allows users to select aviation weather with color-coded symbols for different conditions. The site includes weather radar, distance measuring tool, and detailed weather info for specific airports. It also offers intuitive graphical displays of forecast weather and access to NOTAMS. Even though it lacks graphical maps depicting fronts and systems, the site is praised for its simplicity and accessibility. An app is available for a price, but the web version works effectively, especially with an ad blocker. Overall, it’s a valuable resource for aviation weather.
