Mobile METAR, TAF and AIRMET Reports

I couldn’t find a convenient and free way of accessing aviation METAR, TAF and AIRMET reports on my Blackberry, so I created a couple HTML front-ends to the NOAA National Weather Service Aviation Weather Center Aviation Digital Data Service (ADDS) site that are mobile-optimized for screen size and bandwidth.

I live in the South Bay Area, so I defaulted the values to my region. But you’re welcome to do View Source …, copy the HTML and customize your own forms.

I’ve been happy with the free AccuWeather mobile UI for viewing radar and satellite images. It’s already conveniently optimized for mobile phones, so I made no effort to deep-link into any such products.

Update 2010-11-13: metars.html and airmets.html have been updated with the new ADDS and AccuWeather links.
