Nearby airports

METAR is the actual weather at the aerodrome, usually updated every 30 minutes. TAF is a 24–30 hour forecast issued by meteorological services for larger airports. The VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR categories show how far visibility and cloud base allow visual flying. Aircraft nearby are the same live ADS-B positions as on the main map; arrivals and departures are collected from callsigns with a known route.
