FAQ

Questions NOAA owners ask.

  • 01

    How often are observations updated?

    Most NWS stations report hourly (METAR), with some reporting every 5-15 minutes during significant weather (SPECI).

  • 02

    What are METAR and SPECI reports?

    METARs are routine hourly weather reports generated primarily at airports. SPECI reports are unscheduled updates issued when there is a significant change in weather conditions.

  • 03

    Can I check the status of a local weather radar?

    Yes, you can query the operational status of NEXRAD sites across the country to see if a station is active, down for maintenance, or scanning.
