Understanding aviation weather reports is essential for safe flight planning. This guide will help you decode METAR and TAF reports quickly and confidently.

What is a METAR?

METAR (Meteorological Aerodrome Report) is an observation of current weather conditions at an airport. METARs are typically issued hourly, with special reports (SPECI) issued when conditions change significantly.

METAR Example

KJFK 081756Z 31015G25KT 10SM FEW040 SCT100 BKN250 M02/M15 A3042 RMK AO2

Breaking It Down

KJFK - Airport identifier (JFK International)
081756Z - Day 08, time 1756 Zulu (UTC)
31015G25KT - Wind from 310° at 15 knots, gusting to 25
10SM - Visibility 10 statute miles
FEW040 SCT100 BKN250 - Few clouds at 4,000', scattered at 10,000', broken at 25,000'
M02/M15 - Temperature -2°C, dewpoint -15°C
A3042 - Altimeter setting 30.42 inches Hg

Cloud Coverage Codes

Code	Meaning	Coverage
SKC/CLR	Clear	0/8
FEW	Few	1-2/8
SCT	Scattered	3-4/8
BKN	Broken	5-7/8
OVC	Overcast	8/8

What is a TAF?

TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecast) is a forecast of expected weather conditions. TAFs cover a 24-30 hour period and are issued 4 times daily.

TAF Example

TAF KJFK 081730Z 0818/0924 32012KT P6SM SCT040 BKN100
FM082200 33015G22KT P6SM BKN050
TEMPO 0902/0906 4SM -RA BR

TAF Change Indicators

FM (From) - Rapid change expected at specified time
TEMPO - Temporary fluctuations (less than half the period)
BECMG - Gradual change expected
PROB - Probability of conditions (PROB30, PROB40)

VFR Weather Minimums

Class G Airspace (Day):

1 statute mile visibility
Clear of clouds

Class E, D, C, B Airspace:

3 statute miles visibility
500' below, 1000' above, 2000' horizontal from clouds

Making Go/No-Go Decisions

Use weather reports to evaluate:

Is visibility above your personal minimums?

Are ceilings high enough for your planned altitude?

Are winds within your crosswind limits?

Is the trend improving or deteriorating?

Do you have alternates if conditions change?
