Imagine you're planning a cross-country to somewhere you've never been. It's months in advance, and there's no forecast available yet to tell you whether to expect VMC or IMC. How do you plan? Do you call the airport manager? Find someone who flew there last year? Find a pilot online based at your destination?

Historical METARs contain some very good hints. But how to access, aggregate, and act on them?

Visual METAR Trends solves this data gap for pilots. Our service generates visual and interactive summaries of years' worth of an airport's METARs -- filterable by calendar month and hour of the day. Use our visual data to:

• Start pre-forecast weather planning    (helpful for early cross-country plans)
• Learn what runway/approach to expect    (helpful to explore new airports)
• Plan your departure/arrival times for favorable conditions
• Analyze numerous weather trends based on month and time of day   (scroll down for examples)
• Understand probability of VFR conditions    (helpful to start flight training)
• Improve your situational awareness

Ultimately, Visual METAR Trends can aid your planning, increase your confidence, and improve your safety margins.
