About this applet...
This is based on a fantastic piece of open source software called "PHP Weather".
- For more information, please visit http://phpweather.sourceforge.net/.
- Data is taken from the US National Weather Service http://weather.noaa.gov and from various local weather stations all around the planet.
- Introduced 1968-01-01, METAR (METeorological Aviation Report) is a format for reporting weather information and is predominantly used by pilots as part of a pre-flight weather briefing and by meteorologists, who use aggregated METAR information to assist in weather forecasting. Now, thanks to the internet and a bit of unixy wizardry you can use it too!
- For more information about METAR please see the related Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metar
- This implementation is dedicated to my girlfriend, Zsuzsi, AKA theSweet Little Angel - who enjoys looking at this sort of stuff when she gets bored at work!
The original PHP Weather came with some documentation that you might find interesting. Choose the format...
