August 7, 20223 yr If you have an iPad or iPhone, the FltPlan Go app is very easy to use for METARs and charts. With their software for PC, the iPad or iPhone will act as a moving map with sim aircraft shown on the map and approach/airport charts.

August 7, 20223 yr I use https://aviationweather.gov/metar/data/ It's from the National Weather Service. It's never let me down.
August 7, 20223 yr I love Skyvector for the US. Sadly, the default weather program for MSFS is terrible at generating clouds for me. I'm currently flying from KMQI-KOFP in the Caravan. ZERO clouds using MSFS despite the METARS in both MSFS and Syvector showing partly cloudy. Switch over to REX (had to revert to SU9 recently to use) and clouds are there. It's not the same though....MSFS, when working, generates the overall active weather environment more accurately. IMHO. Did the same flight yesterday but in reverse. Used the default MSFS weather and everything looked great. Cloud depiction was spot-on. I wish I could make even an ounce of sense of this. Edited August 7, 20223 yr by MNORM Grammar
August 7, 20223 yr I do use https://metar-taf.com/ and it is decent. I also use https://metarreader.com/.' This is a great site for the US: https://www.aviationweather.gov/metar/plot?region=msp Edited August 7, 20223 yr by RandallR Randall Rocke
August 7, 20223 yr I use this site: https://runway.airportdb.io/ Gives you the metar and logical runway overview. Most of what is said on the Internet may be the same thing they shovel on the regular basis at the local barn.
August 7, 20223 yr I love https://www.windy.com , especially the ios app. Just click on the small plane icon at the bottom to see all stations, or do the icao search on top left. You can also see the cloud coverage, average wind, thunders in real time per menus at the right. Really nice 👌 Edited August 7, 20223 yr by webstef68

August 7, 20223 yr These sites are neat even if you're not flying, and are just interested in the weather. KMSO (Missoula, Montana) currently has an air temp of 79degF and a dewpoint of only 39degF. That's dry! No wonder they have a SIGMET for fire-fighting airplanes nearby today. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
