MetarWeather ActiveX Component is a small ActiveX component that allows you to decode METAR weather reports and display them as a simple readable weather report. You can use this component in your Web site (By calling it from asp server script), in Visual Basic application, or in any other tool that supports ActiveX components.
About METAR Reports
METAR ("Aviation Routine Weather Report") is an international standard for reporting the weather conditions in thousands of airports about the world. The METAR weather reports are usually issued once per hour, but when there are significant changes in weather, the METAR reports are issued more frequently.
Each METAR report contains essential information about the current weather conditions: Temperature, Dew Point, Barometric Pressure, Wind Speed and Direction, Visibility, Clouds Cover, Current Weather (Rain, Thunderstorms, Hail, Snow and so on...), and more...
Here's an example for a single METAR report:
KMCO 290853Z 10006KT 8SM TSRA FEW029CB BKN110 OVC300 22/21 A3012 RMK AO2 TSB30 SLP198 P0005 60017 T02170211 58003
For most people, this line looks like an unmeaningful characters sequence, but actually it contains a lots of information about the weather conditions. If you decode the above METAR line with the MetarWeather ActiveX component, you'll see the details of the weather information that this METAR represents.

System Requirements
This component requires the MFC library - MFC42.dll.
However, you should not worry to much about that, because all systems today already have this file.
