This is a library and command-line tool that parses and decodes [TAF forecasts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_aerodrome_forecast).

TAF stands for Terminal Aerodrome Forecast. It's the weather forecast format used in aviation. TAF reports are useful as a free source of accurate weather.

Here's an example of a TAF report from JFK airport:

```

KJFK 212335Z 2200/2306 33012G18KT P6SM FEW060 BKN250

  FM220300 36014KT P6SM FEW060 SCT150

  FM221400 01015G21KT P6SM SCT060

  FM221900 04011KT P6SM SCT060

  FM230000 03007KT P6SM FEW060

  FM230300 35006KT P6SM FEW060

```

Try parsing it by installing the tafparser tool using

```bash

go install go.elara.ws/taf/cmd/tafparser@latest

```

and then running

```bash

tafparser <` flag to tell it to do that, like so:

```bash

tafparser -i EGLL

```

That should automatically fetch the report for London Heathrow and parse it.
