    • Land Surface Weather Observations

    Metadata Updated: October 20, 2023

    METAR is the international standard code format for hourly surface weather observations. The acronym roughly translates from French as Aviation Routine Weather Report. Because METAR data is collected for aviation purposes, observation stations are located at airports and helipads. This dataset shows locations of the stations with the URL attribute that allows linkage to the most recent observations.
