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:
That should return a JSON object containing all the decoded data from the TAF report.
You can also give the `tafparser` tool a file to read from using `tafparser file.txt`.
Units in TAF reports are inconsistent between different countries. `tafparser` can convert the units for you! Just pass it the units you want to use for speed and/or distance like so:
This tells `tafparser` to convert all speed units to meters per second and distance units to meters.
`tafparser` can also fetch TAF reports for you using the [aviationweather.gov](https://aviationweather.gov) site. Use the `-i <identifier>` 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.
