METAR Reports Airport weather stations throughout the world routinely issue METAR weather reports . Such reports are used by pilots, air traffic controllers, meteorologists, climatologists, and other researchers. ISD ReportsThe Integrated Surface Database (ISD), maintained and published by NOAA’s National Center for Environmental Information , consists of hourly and synoptic weather reports from a variety of sources. We use ISD data to complement and backfill for our METAR archive. Other DataThe sources for the averages shown in the daily temperature chart are discussed in greater detail on this station’s Averages Report. All data relating to the Sun’s position (e.g., sunrise and sunset) are computed using astronomical formulas from the book, Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition , by Jean Meeus.

While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands. We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.

From bottom (most yellow) to top (most gray), the color bands indicate: full daylight, twilight (civil, nautical, and astronomical), and full night.
The black lines are lines of constant solar elevation (the angle of the sun above the horizon, in degrees). The background color fills indicate the azimuth (the compass bearing) of the sun. The lightly tinted areas at the boundaries of the cardinal compass points indicate the implied intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest).
The shaded overlays indicate night and civil twilight.

Delta Air Lines’
Boeing 737, on a September 6 flight from Puerto Rico to New York with 173 passengers on board, miraculously flew through Hurricane Irma approaching the island and safely reached its destination.
The airliner arrived at Luis Munoz Marin Airport, located near San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, around noon on September 6, the Evening Standard reports.
Despite the approaching hurricane, the captain of the aircraft after consultations with meteorologists and the airport controller decided to fly back to New York. The plane took off from the airport at 12:41 p.m., having spent only 52 minutes on the ground for taxiing, as well as unloading and loading passengers. nine0003
An image tweeted by Flightradar24 shows that after takeoff, the plane flew between the hurricane’s eye and one of its wings, eventually landing safely in New York four hours later.

— Flightradar24 (@flightradar24) September 7, 2017
This flight ended up being the last one to land and then take off from San Juan Airport before all air traffic over Puerto Rico was completely closed due to the hurricane. nine0003
Irma is by some estimates the most powerful hurricane to have ever been observed in the Atlantic Ocean outside the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. On the islands of the Caribbean Sea, several people have already become its victims, a large number of settlements have been destroyed.
Earlier it was reported that “Irma” forced the plane of the Pope to make a detour, which was heading for a visit to Colombia.
