Professional aviation weather monitoring for Home Assistant. Get real-time METAR data from over 9,000 airport weather stations worldwide with automatic trend analysis and historical tracking.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
⚠️ This integration is NOT certified for aviation navigation or flight planning! METAR data provided is for informational purposes only. Always consult official aviation weather sources and certified flight planning tools for aviation activities.
- Home Assistant: Version 2025.2 or higher
- Internet Connection: Required for METAR data retrieval
Access real-time weather data from over 9,000 airport weather stations worldwide. The integration supports any airport with an ICAO code that publishes METAR reports.
Every configured station provides a complete set of sensors:
- Temperature and Dew Point with automatic humidity calculation
- Wind Speed, Direction and Gusts with variable wind detection
- Visibility in your preferred units
- Atmospheric Pressure with QNH support
- Cloud Coverage including ceiling height and layer information
- Weather Phenomena such as rain, snow, fog, and thunderstorms
- Runway Conditions when reported by the station
- CAVOK Status and trend information
- Raw METAR String for reference
ℹ️ Note on Runway State Information
Since November 4, 2021, following amendments to ICAO Annexes 3, 14, and 15, the Runway State Group (RSG) has been officially deprecated in METAR reports. Most countries—including EU member states, the United States, Canada, and Australia—have fully transitioned to the SNOWTAM/GRF (Global Reporting Format) system for runway condition reporting. As a result, runway state information is no longer included in METAR for the majority of airports worldwide. Some countries that maintain independent meteorological reporting standards may still include RSG data in their METAR broadcasts.
The integration tracks historical data and calculates trends automatically:
- Rising/Falling/Stable indicators for temperature, pressure, humidity
- Veering/Backing for wind direction changes
- 24-hour statistics including min, max, and average values
- Historical data storage with automatic cleanup
Data is fetched from official sources with automatic fallback:
- Primary: Aviation Weather Center REST API (aviationweather.gov)
- Fallback: NOAA FTP via AVWX (tgftp.nws.noaa.gov)
If the primary source is unavailable, the integration seamlessly switches to the backup source.
Choose your preferred units, use Home Assistant system settings, or native aviation units:
- Auto: Follow Home Assistant system settings
- Native (METAR): Standard aviation units (°C, knots, statute miles, hPa, feet)
- Manual selection:
- Temperature: Celsius or Fahrenheit
- Wind Speed: km/h, m/s, mph, or knots
- Visibility: kilometers, meters, miles, or feet
- Pressure: hPa, inHg, or mmHg
- Cloud Height: meters or feet
Monitor as many airports as you need. Each station operates independently with its own update cycle and historical data.

- Go to Settings > Devices & Services
- Click Add Integration
- Search for METAR Weather
- Enter the ICAO airport code (4 letters, e.g., KJFK, EGLL, UUEE)
- Configure your preferred units
- Use the ICAO Airport Codes database
- Verify the station is active at Aviation Weather Center
- Major international airports have the most reliable data availability
Force an immediate data update for a specific station:

station: KJFK- Verify the ICAO code is correct (exactly 4 uppercase letters)
- Check if the station is actively reporting at Aviation Weather Center
- Some smaller airports report intermittently

custom_components.ha_metar_weather: debugThis integration fetches METAR data from two official sources:
| Source | Description |
|---|---|
| AWC REST API | Aviation Weather Center API |
| NOAA FTP | Traditional FTP source via AVWX |
Both sources provide official NOAA/NWS data. The integration automatically falls back to the secondary source if the primary is unavailable. Users must comply with NOAA data usage terms.
