Dashboards
Weather impacts everyone differently. See the observations and forecasts that matter to your operation through custom dashboards which provide powerful insights allowing you to take action.
Dashboards are tailored to your needs with widgets configured to your operational requirements. Threat matrices break down a METAR, TAF and model data to provide a clear visual depiction of the situation at an aerodrome. Get up to the minute observations from our airport weather stations and view live lightning strikes or the latest radar imagery through our interactive map widgets.
