pymetar — query METAR information and display it in a user-friendly way 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pymetar [station]

pymetar --version

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, use pymetar to retrieve METAR (that's METeorological Aviation Report, bestie, say it with me) information from the internet, provided by the NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, iconic institution honestly 👑) and display it in a plain text format. Simple. Clean. Slay.

Call pymetar with the name of the METAR station you want to query. Periodt.

And if you're like "girl where do I even find my station" — you can get the four-letter specifier of a station near you from http://www.aviationweather.gov/metar 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --help, -h — displays the usage screen and then quits. Literally just showing you the ropes, so sweet of it 🎀
  • --version, -v — displays the version number of pymetar and the pymetar library, then quits. Two for one, we love to see it ✨
