METAR Decoder 2.0

Decode Any METAR in Plain English

Paste a raw METAR and watch it turn into plain English — wind, visibility, weather, clouds, temperature, dewpoint, altimeter — with a quick Part 107 go / caution / no-go read. This is how you learn to read the sky like a pilot: one report at a time, until the code stops looking like code.

Part 107 reminder: you need at least 3 SM visibility, 500 ft below / 2,000 ft horizontal from clouds, and you must stay under 400 ft AGL. This read is a study aid — always confirm with an official briefing before you fly.
