METAR (METeorological Aerodrome Report) is an international code used for 

reporting weather observations.  METARs are updated hourly or as needed.  METARs 
typically contain information about the temperature, dew point, wind, precipitation, 
cloud cover, cloud heights, visibility, and barometric pressure.  They can also contain 
information on precipitation amounts, lightning, and other critical data.

TAF (Terminal Area Forecast) is the standard format for 24-hour weather forecasts.  

TAFs may contain some of the same code as METAR data.  It typically forecasts 
significant weather changes, temporary changes, probable changes, and expected 
changes in weather conditions.

METAR and TAF data are displayed as raw and/or decoded text.
