+      METAR reports are meteorogical weather reports for aviation. Metar is a small
+      program which downloads weather reports for user-specified stations and
+      optionally decodes them into a human-readable format.
+
+      Currently, metar supports decoding date/time, wind, visibility, cloud layers,
+      temperature, air pressure and weather phenomena, such as rain, fog, etc. Also,
+      more work in the area of clouds need to be done, as support for Cumulus or
+      Cumulunimbus is not yet decoded.
