World Wide Weather Reports


Getting weather reports from any AWOS in the world is actually quite easy. There are two simple ways to do this. From any computer, just open a web browser and visit the Airport View AWOS page. Select the country and a list of stations in that country is displayed. Click on a station identifier and you will see the current METAR plus details about the location and elevation of the station.


From your mobile phone, visit the Airport View mobile site at m.airportview.net. Enter the 4-character ICAO ID for the station of your choice and click the Go button. Your current METAR will appear immediately below. If you expect to use this report in the future, just bookmark the page. Every time you return to that page, the current report will be displayed. No typing required!
