Description
Receive Taf/Metar from airports
Fetch TAFs and/or METARs for airports around the world, based on ICAO ids. Forecasts are for 9 or 24 hour periods, in XML and (heavily encoded) text formats.
METARs are issued every 30 mins, TAF every 3 hours. Historical data for Norway are available since the late '90s.
Note: The TAF and METAR formats have been deprecated, to be replaced with an XML format called IWXXM . When ready, the Tafmetar service will be replaced by SWIM , which uses OGC API EDR for queries. This will only deliver data for Norwegian airports, for other airports there will be a European distribution hub which you must access.
