AeroWeather

SIGMETs

Worldwide SIGMETs and AIRMETs for US stations are available as a list or directly on the map, with access to all detail information. SIGMET alert notifications can be configured by FIR identifier.

Home Screen Widgets

Home screen widgets are supported on iOS devices with iOS 14 or higher. Several different widget types are available:

• METAR Plot
• METAR Raw (small)
• METAR/TAF Raw (medium)
• METAR Decoded (medium)
• Meteogram: small (8h or 24h), medium (24h or 72h)
• Station (large) with METAR Plot, raw METAR/TAF, Meteogram
• Radar (small): continental US and central Europe only
• Nearby METARs as Plots, List, or Map (large)

Better organized with groups

AeroWeather Pro now offers built-in groups for earthquakes, ATC delays (US only), nearby stations, today widget, and Apple Watch which can be individually enabled on the top level view.

Besides creating user groups it’s also possible to put stations on the same level as user groups. This might be useful for your most favorite airports or home base.

Depending on your needs, groups can be shown or hidden in the main list view. Each group has its own settings (“ooo” button) for data format (raw/decoded), sort order, and background color (either white as usual or time-based, where a stations background becomes dark when there’s nighttime).

Adaptive user interface for efficient use

When a detail station is shown you can directly swipe through the list without having to go back and forth which is especially useful on iPhones.

Optimized for any device and also supports splitscreens/multitasking on iPads.

Context menu support: in the station list you can tap and hold to get a quick preview of the METAR and TAF on supported iPhones.

Dynamic font sizes: when enabled (in settings) METAR and TAF texts will be sized according to the devices text settings. These can be found in “General > Accessibility > Larger Text”.

Stay up-to-date with alert notifications

Define multiple METAR alerts for each station with the following criteria:

• flight rule (US NOAA)
• wind speed (and direction)
• runway crosswind
• runway tailwind
• temperature
• temperature/dew point spread
• dew point
• relative humidity
• pressure
• present weather
• visibility
• ceiling (BKN and OVC)
• density altitude

Notifications will be sent to your device if the criteria is met (e.g., when wind is greater/equal 10 kts, flight rule changes to IFR). Via long tap notifications will show raw METAR.

TAF alerts will be sent when new TAF is available.

To get D-ATIS alerts use context menu (tap and hold) on D-ATIS.

Syncronize groups across your devices

User groups can now be synchronized via Cloud Kit. If enabled in settings, user groups stay synchronized on all devices with the same Apple ID. The top level list (and its order) as well as device specific groups like nearby or widget group are excluded from synchronisation.

Offered as separate one-time unlock purchase.

Apple Watch app included

The AeroWeather Pro watch app offers various data:

• METAR (raw and decoded) / TAF
• Pressure- and density altitude
• Runways with dimensions
• Webcams (if available)
• Communication data with AWOS/ATIS phone calling feature (US and selected countries only)
• D-ATIS for bigger US airports*
• Meteogram with 8 and 24 hours forecast*
• Radar for Central Europe and Continental US*

Stations can be added and removed directly on watch. Also, all necessary preferences are available on watch. Stations can still be synchronized with Watch group on iPhone but don’t need to.

All data sections in station detail view can be customized (similar as on iPhone).

* Requires at least First premium plan subscription in AeroWeather Pro on iPhone, which is automatically picked up from your iPhone.

Many other features

• Map view with direct access to station details
• Runway section showing METAR/TAF wind components and runway surface type
• Notes section with multiple records per station
• Sharing and printing
• Glossary explaining the most relevant terms
• Option to use World Magnetic Model (WMM) for calculation of magnetic variation and annual change (in station detail view)

METAR Siri Shortcuts

METAR requests can be defined for any station as Siri shortcut.

“Add to Siri” is available in the station detail view (Lite) or under the “Location” tab (Pro). Simply record your invocation phrase and then ask Siri later with this phrase to display (in raw format) and read-out (ATIS-like) the latest METAR.

All defined Siri shortcuts can be viewed in “Settings >  Siri Shortcuts”.

More forecast information with Meteograms

Meteograms show forecasts for (from top to bottom) temperature, dew point, wind direction, wind speed, gusts (if available), snowfall/ice (if available), obstruction to vision, cloud coverage, visibility, and flight rule

We use data from two sources: Meteograms in the US are based on US NOAA MOS models NBS (for long forecast) and NBH (for 24h forecasts). For all other stations, we use MOSMIX data from DWD (Deutscher Wetterdienst).

Meteograms are available for about 7200 stations.

Available in app, widget, and watch app.

Transfer your data from/into your favourite tools

There are many ways to transfer your groups, stations, and notes:

• Use the open exchange format to transfer groups from or to your favourite tools (more info).
• Use the support of URL schemes to launch the app and show a station or even create new groups (more info).
• Use QR codes to store and read your groups (storage capacity is limited to about 150 stations and will be indicated in the app).
