Since the latest update, I get zero METAR for any airport outside the US and France.
I’ve tried US, Canada, Australia, England, France, and New Zealand. Multiple airports in each country. Everywhere, I get “No METAR Available”.
However, it seems to always work at pretty much every airport in the US and France.
Anyone else seeing this?
METAR has worked fine for me. Not checked now after 23:00Z though because the live-weather is down. Waiting to fly again until after that is up again 
Will check then if the METAR is available.
It’s been like that for me since yesterday’s update. I was getting METAR on the flight from my home airport in Canada before the update. The update dropped, and haven’t seen a functional METAR in the sim outside of the US and France since.
It was fine for me (EGPH - EGPR) when I started the flight, but went down at 23:00z which is the usual daily downtime.
I’m pretty sure the Canada one is a known issue. There are lots of IRL metar reporting websites that show nothing for any Canadian airports.
I was unable to get it in any country other than the US and France. I forgot, also flew the Bahamas earlier today. No METAR there either.
Weird. Sorry man, I know nothing about that.
Same, although I’ve not been able to get METAR reports in-sim long before this update.
The implementation of the METAR’s weather has still been working though. It’s an inconvenience, but I’d rather have the weather (with no report), than the other way round.
I’ve been looking at METARs all the time, since you can get them in the flight plan page of the G1000 NXi. I check them before departure along with the ATIS, and check them also along with ATIS when setting up for approach. Sometimes they’re not available at smaller airports, which is understandable, but now it’s everywhere as of yesterday for me. Well, except the US and France.
It may work in other countries that I haven’t tried, but for the places I listed I tried, it doesn’t work.
A lot of providers are pulling their data from the NOAA Aviation Weather Server run by the US Government.
NOAA’s datacenter in College Park MD suffered a “temperature event” on 05-JAN-2022 and thus a lot of Aviation Weather feeds went down. Full recovery is slated for 08-JAN-2022. This impacts a lot of Weather Products, including METARs.
Thank you for that info.
