Datalink Lightning Symbol

Lightning symbols show the reported approximate location of

cloud--to--ground lightning strikes. The lightning symbol is displayed at

full intensity for 5 minutes following a lightning strike and then begins

to fade out over a 15--minute time frame.

METARS Page

The METARS page displays graphical Aviation Routine Weather

Reports (METARs) with a color--coded flag at weather reporting

airports. A METAR is an hourly weather report from the reporting airport

(not all airports have a report). METARs issued in the United States and

Canada generally provide METAR information about the airport, date

and time, wind direction and speed, visibility, precipitation, current

weather conditions, cloud cover and layer, temperature, barometric

pressure, and other critical data. International METARs may vary.
