METAR archive?

Featured Replies

Folks, I wonder if there is a place where METARs from the past are archived. I'd be looking for a few specific METARs from a specific location on a certain day, but that was like ten years ago. Any hint would be appreciated!

Hi, thanks for the hint. I should have been a bit more specific. Unfortunately I'm looking for a European aerodrome. The time frame would've been perfect, as my year of interest is 2001. Google sure gives a number of results, but none seems to have what I'm looking for so far. Any more input is welcome.

Do you use ASE? I not sure how far back the archieve goes?

No, don't use anything like that. But if anyone has it I'd appreciate if he/she could check for any archive functionality and how far back that goes. Thanks!

I think Active Sky goes back to 1-1-2007, there wasn't much of an internet back in 2001, you'll probably have a hard time finding wx that far back but good luck. I'm curious, why do you want wx for a specific european aerodrome in 2001? Sounds interesting, whatever you've got up your sleeve. Jim

lol yeah, that's a legitimate question. It was when I took my first ride on a jumpseat, and to make a long story short, it ended in a spectacular night time CAT IIIB approach (and yes, as you could assume the "spectacularity" was exponentiated by the fact it was my first jump ever, you bet). Given today's possibilities with the internet and all, I thought it would maybe have been possible to find out the exact weather that day, but apparently it's still a hard thing to do.

Limited only to archive data for a substantial gain of time, the request can be addressed directly to the CNMCA, which manages the database of Climatology by writing to:

Postal address: CNMCA Mario De Bernardi AirportVia Pratica di Mare, 45ththe 00,040th PomeziaRome

Might take some time but maybe they can help you?
