The Summarizer gives you a quick picture of the important weather components for your flight today, checking the current METARs for basic warning indicators.
This library uses highly arbitrary thresholds and should not be relied upon as a primary aviation resource. It also relies on avwx, a library that is under development and potentially unstable.
pip install avwxsummarizer
Go ahead and use it right from the shell if you're feeling lazy.
- The Summarizer will soon take into account the following:
- TAFs
- Winds aloft
- SIGMETs
- AIRMETs
- PIREPs
- It will also allow specification of wheels-up time to allow looking ahead to tomorrow's weather instead of the default (current weather).
- Customizable limits/thresholds
