What is AvioWeather
Aviation weather briefing for the apron — METAR, TAF, SIGMET, intelligent alerts.
AvioWeather pulls official aviation observations from around the world (NOAA AWC, OGIMET, Iowa State ASOS) and presents them to pilots and ops in two surfaces: an iOS app built for the pad and an editorial dashboard built for desk briefings. Same backend, same parsing, same flight category.
In both clients
- METAR (raw + decoded) with FAA flight category VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR derived from ceiling and visibility
- TAF for 24–30 hours split into periods, with inferred category per group
- Global SIGMET map with hazard-coloured polygons (TS, TURB, ICE, MTW, VA, TC, GR, DS, SS, RDOACT)
- Headwind/crosswind component for the airport's actual runways
- QNH trend across the last 8 observations
- Ephemeris: sunrise, sunset, civil/nautical/astronomical twilight
- Synced favourites: airports added on iOS appear on the dashboard and vice versa
- Pro intelligent alerts: conditional rules that notify only on the false→true edge

METAR data is server-side cached for ~5 minutes. The dashboard does not auto-refresh — use the reload button or refresh the page. The iOS app refreshes every 10 minutes while in foreground.
