## Description

WP TAF METAR Widget is a plugin that allows you to show the TAF or METAR (aviation
weather) information from any airport directly to your WordPress WebSite, by just
giving the ICAO code of the wanted airport. You can of course place more than one
widget on your page, with different settings / airports. The information come directly
from AviationWeather.gov databases.

### 󠀁[Update needed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-needed-23/)󠁿

 [Robert](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rwasilewski/) January 23, 2024

This plugin was wonderful but doesn’t work anymore with the current version of Wordpress.
Would it be possible to update this software?

airport number and this plugin will sell 🙂
