When I put my mouse over the airport status (VFR, IFR, etc) for MY FLIGHT AWARE, the METAR for KBTL says 10SM CLR and other things. However, for the last 7 hours, it has not been 10 and clear once!
Currently it is: KBTL 241653Z 24016KT 6SM HZ BKN019 OVC026 02/M01 A2952 RMK AO2 SLP007 T00171011
Just seeing if there has been any progress on this issue. I know you are busy with all the improvements and I appreciate it, but the weather is still wrong often. Currently, at 3 local airports and one back home in IL, all the TAF’s and metars are from yesterday at noon.
Regarding to this METAR. I know what does “KBTL 241653Z 24016KT 6SM HZ BKN019 OVC026 02/M01” mean. But I couldn’t find any info that would help me to understand “A2952 RMK AO2 SLP007 T00171011”. What does it mean? Help needed thanx!
It is August 7th and the TAF’s for GRR, BTL, AZO DTW, MKG (all in MI) haven’t been updated since the 4th. Also, I’ve noticed the METARS are usually about 2-3 hours behind.
METARs should be 1/2 to 2 hours behind the actual weather information if they get the info via NOAA, and Sometimes stations will not report and the data is delayed for another update cycle. I’ve cross-checked the METAR/TAF data with airnav.com, and they both show the same time lag.
If the METAR’s and TAF’s are always wrong, why not just get rid of them all together on FA?
I just checked KBTL and the METAR was from the 1st, then I hit refresh and it was from today, but 3 hours ago, then hit refresh again and went back to the 1st.
