METAR watch · measured, not assumed

Trust the data, not the brand.

Many weather markets settle on METAR, the report an airport station sends, and treat it as the truth. It is a real measurement - and it is not a clock. Reports arrive late, stations go silent, and reports are corrected after they were published. That part is rarely published by the data suppliers behind weather markets.

This network publishes it. Weather Data Market watches every station's METAR feed once a minute - when each report was observed, when NOAA received it, when it first appeared, whether it was corrected afterwards (the original text kept) - and checks every hourly consensus run against the measurements, METAR and KWeather's official stations and GTS bulletins together. Each final station day is anchored on Flare. Below is what that shows, station by station. You do not have to take anyone's word for it, including ours.

We turn numbers that are only shown into verified data you can settle on.

A station day with a gap like this is not settleable: the extreme could have fallen in it.

Why one station is not enough

An airport sits kilometres from the city centre, reports about once an hour, and sometimes not at all. A market that settles on that single report inherits every gap and every delay - silently, unless someone measures them.

What this network does instead

The consensus combines eleven feeds, and each run is graded against the whole observation class, not one station. When the measurements do not back the value, the hour is marked not settlement-eligible and nothing settles on it here.

What it means for a ticket

You can still choose METAR on Pick the temperature - with this record in front of you. A METAR ticket is refunded when its run carries no report; a consensus ticket when the hour is not eligible.

How these figures are made: for every hourly consensus run the oracle publishes, this site records the airport METAR as the run received it - whether one was there, whether it was usable, and when it was observed - from the oracle's per-source record. A report counts as late when more than 60 minutes passed between its observation and the run. Most late reports are 60–90 minutes old: the station's on-the-hour report had not yet reached the network when the run was taken, so the previous hour's reading was used. Beyond 90 minutes at least one report was skipped altogether. Recording began Fri 6 Nov; the window grows to a full seven days from there. The METAR text is from NOAA Aviation Weather Center via Weather Data Market. See also the oracle's own service status.
