An aviation routine weather report(METAR) is the weather observer´s(human or automated) interpretation of the weather conditions at a given site and time.The METAR is used by the aviation community to determine the weather conditions (VFR,MVFR.,IFR) at an airport,as well as to produce a terminal aerodrome forecast (TAF),if appropriate.

1 Type of report

3 Date and time of report
4 Modifier (as required)
5 Wind
6 Visibility
7 Runway visual range (RVR)
8 Weather
9 Sky condition
10 Temperature/dew point
11 Altimeter
12 Remarks (RMK) (as required)
