Enter an **ICAO code** in the search bar (e.g. `LFPG`, `KJFK`). 2. Tap **Search** to retrieve the current weather data. *** ## METAR The METAR (Meteorological Aerodrome Report) section displays: * **Raw METAR** -- the original encoded report * **Decoded fields** -- wind direction and speed, visibility, clouds, temperature, dew point, QNH * **Flight category** -- VFR, MVFR, IFR, or LIFR with color coding *** ## TAF The TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecast) section displays: * **Raw TAF** -- the full forecast text * **Decoded periods** -- each forecast period with wind, visibility, clouds, and weather phenomena * **Validity period** -- the time range the forecast covers *** ## Multi-Airport You can search multiple airports by entering several ICAO codes separated by spaces (e.g. `LFPG EGLL KJFK`). Each airport's weather is displayed in its own card. > **Tip:** Use this before a flight to check weather at departure, arrival, and alternate airports in one view. *** ## Weather Radar Map A live radar overlay is available below the METAR/TAF data: * **Precipitation overlay** -- real-time rain and snow radar imagery on a world map * **Play / Pause animation** -- animate recent radar frames to see precipitation movement * **Time slider** -- scrub through radar frames manually to inspect a specific moment * **Airport marker** -- the searched airport is pinned on the map for spatial reference * **Dark / Light basemap** -- the map basemap switches automatically to match the app's current dark or light mode *** ## Recent Searches The last **6 searched ICAO codes** are saved and displayed as quick-access chips above the search bar. Tap a chip to instantly reload that airport's weather without retyping the code. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://nil-4.gitbook.io/flightlog-docs/tools/weather.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
